  Spid the Spider has often dreamed of owning a smart, shiny, loud Darley Havidson motorbike. But what Spid wants isn’t always what’s best for him – especially when it leads to him making big 
  decisions too quickly. After all, if something seems too good to be true, could that be because it is? With plenty of surprises under the saddle, Spid finds himself zooming into a hilarious misadventure full of U-turns, bumps, and life lessons.  
  This sixteenth Spid the Spider adventure is a fun and funny story with gentle lessons in financial literacy, decision-making, and resilience—ideal for home or classroom reading. 
  With catchy songs, clever wordplay, and a heartwarming message about money, mistakes, and making the best of things, Spid the Spider Is Easy Spider is perfect for 5–10s—and anyone who’s ever wanted something just a little too much. 
  Spid is a role model for children. He’s a hard-working, cool, and funny spider, who makes mistakes, but learns from them. He helps children embrace what psychologists call a ‘growth mindset’ - a determination to better oneself and succeed. All books are supported by free parent and teacher resources to entertain and inspire children, helping them learn. These include a 'decision making flowchart.  
  Two songs also feature in the book; ‘Easy Spider’ and ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’.   ‘Easy Spider’ is a rock ‘n’ roll banger, with a catchy electric guitar riff. It echoes the freedom of driving on 
  open roads “I’m a real cool rider, I’m an Easy Spider”. ‘Motorcycle Melancholy’ is a song about lost love, love lost though the high cost of maintaining Spid’s bike, and his mistakes in cutting corners. It has a mesmerising accordion section.

  The "revelatory" (The New York Review of Books) story of an ordinary man, his century, and his home. 
   
   
   
  Jamaica Kincaid's first obsession, the island of Antigua, comes vibrantly to life under the gaze of Mr. Potter, an illiterate chauffeur who makes his living along the wide, open roads that pass the only towns he has ever seen. The sun shines squarely overhead, the ocean lies on every side, and suppressed passion fills the air. 
   
   
   
  As Mr. Potter's narrative unfolds in linked vignettes, his story becomes the story of a vital, damaged community. Amid his surroundings, he struggles to live at ease: to purchase a car, to have girlfriends, and to shake off the encumbrance of his daughters―one of whom will return to Antigua after he dies and tell his story with equal measures of distance and sympathy. 
   
   
   
  In Mr. Potter, Kincaid breathes life into a figure unlike any other in contemporary fiction, an individual consciousness emerging gloriously out of an unexamined life.
