The ladybirdz arrive in Woodside Terrace, and Aubrey’s Easter holidays get complicated. Ariadne the spider asks Aubrey to help. Something Must Be Done, but first Aubrey sucks the swallow stone which makes him small enough for daring flights on the back of Hirundo the Swallow and amazing adventures in the Web of Time and Space. Add in Bernardo the bee, Eric the earthworm and a whole conference of ravens, and you have the start of an epic tale in which a small boy and a house spider try to save the world!
Reviews
Aubrey and the Terrible Ladybirds is a book about adventures of a boy called Aubrey, who sucked a swallow stone and shrank to a size of an earwig! Aubrey made some friends with birds and insects, like Hirundo the swallow, Bernardo the bee and Eric the worm, and with some help from them, he saved the world from the great hunger. My favourite character is Hirundo the swallow because I love birds and I like swallows. I think this book is funny, exciting, and a great read for children 5 and above.

I thought this book was not very interesting, I rate it 3/5. My favourite person was Hirundo because he was a tiny funny. I did not have a favourite part! I would not recommend!

I think this was a good book but and bit confusing it was also a bit boring. My favourite character was Aderline because she was fun and nice. I probably wouldn’t recommend it.

Writing this review on behalf of my son before we forget to fill it in! He seemed to really enjoy this book, the perfect combination of adventure and nature. I think he wants to read the sequel…
