Spid boards the train to Spidlins holiday camp at Spidwell-by-the-Sea for a summer holiday he'll never forget. Which is exactly what he gets, but not for the reasons he might think. As ever, Spid faces lots of setbacks, but wins through in the end. The book features two songs: Surfin' Spidwell Bay and Holiday. Surfin' Spidwell Bay pays homage to holidays at Spidwell Bay. It combines The Beach Boys' surf vibe with Bill Haley's Shake, Rattle, and Roll. In Holiday, Spid sings about his holiday experiences. You can only hope they are not yours! The songs have accompanying QR codes to take readers to musical versions of the songs. From June, you will also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider.

Spid is a lowly spider who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps, mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a "growth mindset" (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents and teachers to read to and with their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence, thus helping children interact and engage. The humour also works at multiple levels, from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
