In the story, Bid dreams of setting up her own artisan bakery though she faces numerous set-backs in turning her dream into reality. With grit, determination, and Spid’s help, she learns from the setbacks and finds a way to succeed.  It’s a fun-filled story that also educates by encouraging a ‘growth mindset’. Baking is increasingly seen as a fun, creative activity that families and children can do together. This sense of involvement and creativity aligns perfectly in this latest Spid the Spider adventure. The story also aligns with the global phenomena and cultural touchstones of The Great British Bake Off (GBBO) and The Apprentice.  
  This audiobook features two songs: ‘Dreams’ and ‘Honey Bee Cakes’. These further immerse children in the story.  ‘Dreams’ is a motivational song with a ‘growth-mindset’ message; “Don’t get down, you can turn it around, your plans are sound, and you can rebound”. ‘Honeybee Cakes’ has a sunny-feel-good-calypso-Caribbean vibe, with fabulous rising harmonies. “Honey bee, honey bee, honey bee cakes” 
  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 honeybee cake recipe and instructions to make a bee hotel.

  E. Nesbit's classic novel "Five Children and It" was a blockbuster success when it was serialized in The Strand magazine in 1902 and published as a stand-alone novel later that year. It has never been out of print since its initial publication.   The story of "Five Children and It" revolves around five young children - Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb - who discover a lumpy, grumpy sand-fairy (also known as a Psammead). The Psammead take a liking to them and agrees to grant the children one wish every day, but warns them that the wishes will "turn to stone" at sunset. The rest of the story concerns the various wishes each of the children requests...and how terribly they go wrong.   E. Nesbit (the pen name of Emily Nesbit when writing children's books) was one of the most popular, successful and influential writers of her day and wrote over sixty books for children, eleven novels for adults, a number of short stories and even dabbled in horror fiction. Her work has inspired such renowned authors as C.S. Lewis, P.L. Travers (of Mary Poppins fame) and J.K. Rowling.

  Rosewyn clutched the bundled baby in her arms as she ran through the icy winds of Hollins Shire’s brutal winter, shivering violently – but not from the cold. She shivered from fright and dread. The baby she held in her arms should have been loved and cared for like any other newborn, but the baby had been condemned to die by the King. His birth was against the law and saving him would mean certain death if she was caught. Even the news of his birth would aid the evil duke, Lord Raymond in overthrowing the entire kingdom. If Rosewyn’s secret is discovered, the kingdom could crumble. 
  Tortured by guilt in condemning the child, the King struggles to keep his family together. When a mysterious boy arrives at the castle, things become more dangerous as Lord Raymond plots the royal family’s demise. In an effort to save his family and kingdom, the King has his young sons trained in survival skills for their protection, but when the secret of the new stranger is discovered, will the training be enough?Editorial Review 
  Secrets of Hollins Castle is a delightful medieval fantasy adventure that stands out as a testament of love to the medieval fantasy genre - Christianson weaves a well-crafted tale that feels realistic to the genre, with especially powerful dialogue and relationship building that make the story stand out. The author does an excellent job balancing drama and tenderness without being melodramatic, such as when Queen Jennifry gives birth to her child to start the story. Characters are also introduced with good characterization quickly without overwhelming the reader, such as when the reader meets Lord Raymond with a snide comment. The character relationships between each other, which add to the mystery, also feel realistic and at times tender.
