Roxy's Seaside Surprise - Carl Barker;Christine Martin

A charming seaside adventure about curiosity, courage, and finding your way home.

Roxy is a harmless little house spider who lives in a quiet pantry with her mum, dad, and her slightly annoying younger brother, Edmund.

Life is safe.

Life is warm.

But Roxy has questions.

When she discovers a mysterious hole in the pantry wall, her curiosity leads her somewhere she never expected - into the big, bright outside world... and straight into a seaside adventure.

After a narrow escape from Boris the cat, a bumpy ride in a rucksack, and a surprising arrival at the beach, Roxy finds herself exploring rock pools, colourful shells, and meeting Ralph - a wise old crab with important lessons to share.

But not everything she sees is magical.

Among the pebbles and seaweed, Roxy discovers litter scattered across the sand - and begins to understand how human choices affect the natural world.

Can a tiny spider find her way home? And what will she learn along the way?

Perfect for children aged 5-8, Roxy and the Seaside Surprise is a beautifully written children's picture book that gently explores:

With engaging characters, a gentle message about litter and ocean care, and fascinating spider facts at the back, this heart warming nature story is ideal for bedtime reading, classroom discussion, and early independent readers.

A delightful spider story that encourages children to explore the world - while remembering where they belong.
