Aubrey and the Terrible Ladybirds [EPUB ebook] 

It’s the holidays, you’ve just become as small as an earwig, the swallows are back (and offering you rides), and a spider wakes you up in the middle of the night and asks you to save the world. As if that weren’t enough, the Ladybirdz fly in from Bohemia to find the local ladybirds do not want them… The world of Aubrey, the boy who can talk to animals (and understand the answers) grows larger and faster in this moving and hilarious story from award-winning children’s author Horatio Clare.
