  Spid is bored and longs for adventure. When he daydreams one day, of faraway places, he finds himself flying back in time. But his adventure isn’t quite as he expected...This audiobook features two songs: 'Seven Wonders' and 'I Dreamed of Faraway'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.

  The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler - Hallam wanted to get out of space – but even more he wanted to make a fortune first. Now he had found a way to do it – by selling – The Ultimate Vice. 
  A. Bertram Chandler (1912-1984) was an Australian science fiction author best known for his extensive John Grimes series, set in the Rim World universe. Chandler’s career as a merchant marine officer deeply influenced his writing, infusing his stories with authentic nautical and spacefaring details. He explored themes of exploration, isolation, and the human condition in the vastness of space. Chandler’s protagonists, particularly Grimes, are often depicted as pragmatic, resourceful, and somewhat rebellious figures navigating the complexities of interstellar bureaucracy and the challenges of frontier life. His works blend adventure, hard science fiction, and social commentary, often reflecting his fascination with alternative realities and parallel universes. Chandler’s storytelling is marked by a sense of wonder and a deep respect for the exploratory spirit. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, his contributions to the genre have earned him a dedicated following.

  Who better to wreak havoc with eight beloved fairy tales than Gregory Maguire, the brilliant, funny, and nationally best-selling author of the adult novel Wicked as well as the hilarious middle-grade series The Hamlet Chronicles. 
  Zany animals of all species run through these fractured tales with alarming speed and dexterity. Who would have thought that the ageless, exquisite Cinderella could be recast as the silly story of an enormous yet lovable elephant who plods along to the ball with glass pie plates on her feet; or that Sleeping Beauty, that most regal of all fairy tales, could be twisted into the story of a frog with a most unusual and promising dance career? Get ready to meet a gorilla queen and a psycho chimp, seven giant giraffes, and one very bad walrus.
