Snails of the Unexpected

Loved the cover of this so I just had to ask for it, it’s feeling good reading books for younger readers again, quite refreshing.

Fergus and Shelby are a couple of snails who’ve found the good life in the garden they live in as they get treated to lots of different salads and are allowed to eat what they want, including fresh crunchy cucumber!

But there is something afoot in the world of gastropods…

Slug-life is on the rise and the benefits of slugs are being promoted everywhere and Fergus wants to find out why, and they find out more than they were bargaining for.

and oh yes, they both can transform after a puddle they were drinking at got hit by lightning…

Fun little adventure with some great illustrations from Brenda Figueroa supporting the fast-paced story telling.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
