Amy Gets Eaten: The laugh-out-loud picture book from bestselling Adam Kay and Henry Paker

Product Information

The approaching storm depicted as a thundering mass of galloping horses and a warrior raining down silver arrows is particularly striking. Clara Anganuzzi’s primary coloured illustrations depict Fly Boy with hot red wings in contrast to his friend’s blue ones and, in the wrong hands, the entire project might have felt trite, but its heartfelt simplicity is powerfully direct, just right for its young audience. Meanwhile, Fly Boy, the children’s debut from novelist and poet JJ Bola, seems a natural extension of his previous writing for adults on issues including masculinity, home and identity. Amy’s story follows her adventure through Noah’s digestive system, and she is very excited about it.
