About this title

Synopsis:

Spider McDrew is a hopeless case - or so everyone says - but somehow he always manages to surprise everyone. Spider is slow and a dreamer, the sort of child who is always one step behind the rest of the class, but this doesn't mean he's stupid - far from it. Three gently humorous stories about this loveable character - his adventures at school. There'ss a football story, how he brings a cow into the playground for his pets project and how Spider stars in the school play. Bursting with character and originality, the author offers acutely perceptive snapshots of contemporary school life. Spider is a male version of Josie Smith, it could be said, though definitely rather more up to date!

From the Back Cover:

Spider McDrew is so busy dreaming, he's often one step behind everyone else. But Spider does have a special talent for surprises. Whether playing football or performing in the school play or raising funds for the nature garden, Spider always turns out to be the hero!

'Three heartwarming stories about this lovable child who's just that little bit different.'
