I didn’t know that Ben Miller did write stories, however really loving the the magic involved in this one! This is the story about how Lana and Harrison meet some spiders and end up on a magical adventure at night-time。 Lana is the younger of the two and she is very much into play and believing, whereas Harrison is just that more grown up as he’s a teenager。 They both want to play on the old hollowed tree at their Grandparents area, but when some developers ask Lana if she wants to save the spid I didn’t know that Ben Miller did write stories, however really loving the the magic involved in this one! This is the story about how Lana and Harrison meet some spiders and end up on a magical adventure at night-time。 Lana is the younger of the two and she is very much into play and believing, whereas Harrison is just that more grown up as he’s a teenager。 They both want to play on the old hollowed tree at their Grandparents area, but when some developers ask Lana if she wants to save the spiders that live there or have a big climbing frame。 She wants to play and Harrison wants to save the spiders。 One of the things that I enjoyed about this book is that the chapters aren’t very long and a straight forward read which, really helps when you’re reading with younger children, or maybe when they’re reading by themselves。 Recommended for parents looking for a fun and magical bedtime read and children who like magic and relatable characters。I found myself really caring about the spiders by the end of the book too, which I think was the point。 The writer makes you feel and understand things from the spider’s perspective。There was definitely a ‘Narnia’ feel about it。 (with magical lands and talking animals。) and I think this book could do a lot to change peoples perspective on spiders, especially children。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children for the advanced copy of this title in return for an honest review。I feel a bit behind s I didn’t know Ben Miller even wrote books, which is exciting, as I’m a big fan of his。 Yes, I know this is a children’s book and probably not aimed at a 29 year old but it sounded like such a fun story。 It turned out to be a proper fantasy adventure。I read an early e-copy; it would be lovely to see a finished book to see the final images as the description Thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children for the advanced copy of this title in return for an honest review。I feel a bit behind s I didn’t know Ben Miller even wrote books, which is exciting, as I’m a big fan of his。 Yes, I know this is a children’s book and probably not aimed at a 29 year old but it sounded like such a fun story。 It turned out to be a proper fantasy adventure。I read an early e-copy; it would be lovely to see a finished book to see the final images as the description of this fantasy world sounded so bright and beautiful, and the black and white images in this copy don’t do them justice。There was definitely a sense of Narnia about it, with magical lands and talking animals。 By having a boy and a girl as your protagonists, it would appeal to all children as they are all able to identify with them and follow them on their adventure。I liked the main plot point of the spiders。 In my experience, most people do not think favourably of spiders, and a lot of the children I know fall into that category。 And whilst I’m not about to go and stroke a spider, I think this book could do a lot to change their perspective, especially for children。It is straightforward and exciting for children to follow but developed enough to interest older readers。 。。。more
