Brodie loves visiting his Traveller grandparents on their Brilliant Barber Bus every summer holiday. Their home is always full of fascinating stories and friendly faces. But this year, not everything goes to plan!

Brodie's grandparents have a surprise for him - they're going to take him on a special adventure to visit some of the places they've been to in their travels. Brodie is excited but also a little nervous - he's never been on a bus before, and he doesn't know what to expect.

As they travel along the road, Brodie listens intently to his grandparents' stories about the different places they've visited. He sees beautiful scenery, meets new people, and tries new foods. But things start to go wrong when the bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

Brodie and his grandparents are stranded in a small town with no way to get to their destination. They're worried about being late for their flight back home, but they also don't want to miss out on the adventure. Brodie's grandparents decide to stay in the town for a few days and explore it together.

They visit the local museum, go for a walk in the park, and try some of the delicious local food. Brodie learns a lot about the town and its people, and he starts to feel more confident in himself.

Finally, the day comes for them to catch their flight back home. Brodie and his grandparents board the bus, feeling grateful for the experience and the memories they've made. They arrive home safely, and Brodie is already planning his next adventure with his Traveller grandparents.

In conclusion, Big Cat for Little Wandle Fluency is a great way to help children develop their reading skills and love for reading. The Fluency 4 books are particularly effective in building reading confidence, stamina and speed, and nurturing a love for reading. Brodie's adventure on the Brilliant Barber Bus is a testament to the power of reading and the importance of exploring new places.
