Description
A small insect learns that even though she can walk on the ceiling and fly superfast, there are dangers lurking everywhere.
Quick Summary
Astrid the Fly gives kids a tiny protagonist with seriously cool powers - she can walk upside down on the ceiling and zoom through the air - but she quickly discovers the world is full of bigger creatures who see her as a snack. Young readers will root for this underdog insect as she navigates treacherous territories, discovering that being small doesn't mean you can't be brave. If your kid loves the silly humor and heart of "Fly Guy" by Tedd Arnold, they'll be buzzing with excitement over Astrid. Perfect for kindergarten and first-graders who are ready for short chapter books with big personalities.
