  Product Description

During a catastrophe, which threatens his world and the sheltered life he has always known, Young One is transported across the universe into the body of a young boy, known as Flea.

The new Flea must embrace the life he has been catapulted into, with its challenging relationships, while trying to make sense of what has happened. Somehow, he must make the real Flea’s friends believe in him and trust him, for only with their help will he have a chance of restoring balance.

Only one character from his previous life is able to communicate with him, although not all the time and not necessarily when he really needs help! Anukh is his spirit guide, who most commonly takes the earthly form of a seagull.

Despite their original cynicism and downright reluctance, the friends begin to work together. They will need to rely on their wits and instinct to prevent a far worse disaster than anyone could have imagined.

As the adventure unfolds, the friends meet strange new creatures, not of our world, and must learn to adapt to strange new situations. They will even question what the truth is.

amazing illustrations                              |    samuel perry  

5.0 out of 5 stars

Fantastic book and a great tantrum stopper., 10 Nov 2012

By 

Dawn Mason "Purplebint" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews

(REAL NAME)

  

This review is from: The Hairy Plug Monster (Paperback)

"My daughter went through a stage of being scared of the plughole and the bathwater when she was about 2yrs old. We bought this book to try and stop the crying, tantrums and bath refusal that was going on and it worked perfectly. It's still one of my children's favourite books, and they both say good night to the Hairy Plug Monster as the bathwater goes down the plughole.

I couldn't rate this book highly enough."

and YES you can still purchase a copy intime for Christmas visit

SYNOPSIS

In the quiet of the night, Maya creeps into the bathroom and makes a new friend. 'The Hairy Plug Monster'.

Join Maya and 'The Hairy Plug Monster' on their delightful adventure filled with bubble bath sandwiches and chocolate éclairs that answers the age old question, 

                             

                                    "Where does the bathwater go daddy?"

REVIEW :   "The lyrical writing easily matches up to the likes of Julia Donaldson and the illustrations are just fantastic"

Rachel (Children's buyer - Waterstone's Bury) 

  

Sometimes a picture really does paint a thousand words

A friend posted this recently on Leighroy's facebook page 

"Abi was talking this morning about what was real and what was imaginary. She was going through everything she could think of and categorising it, so gruffalo = imaginary, totoro = imaginary, jesus = imaginary, when it came to the Hairy Plug Monster though she decided he's real. I thought you'd like to know :) "

She obviously knows there's no such thing as the Gruffalo.

another great review for 'A Cloud of Souls' posted yesterday:


5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic 13 Nov 2012
By Valeria

Such an exciting book from start to finish. There is always something happening. An air of anticipation on every page. A light glimpse into the world of spirit and different dimensions, of reality and non reality with fascinating characters like 'Flea' who has come 

from another universe and 'Bolly-Bog' otherwise known as 'Two'. It is as if the characters are living in two worlds at the same time and yet the reality of the story is happening somewhwere in the vicinity of Bath.
With each chapter I couldn't wait to find out what was to happen next. This book is not just for children it is also for adults who enjoy excitement.
Carol has such a fantastic imagination and the gift of expressing it in words.
I can hardly wait for the next book. I hope there is to be a sequel
