Flea and Spikey

By Pieter Koolwijk and Linde Faas

Meet Floyd, otherwise known as Flea. He's not very brave, he's rather small, and constantly being hassled by Arnold the bully. His life isn't very exciting until a new student joins his class--a tiny girl with a big personality. With a broad grin on her freckled face, she surveyed the classroom. Her eyes twinkled. All the prying eyes and gaping mouths didn't seem to bother her at all. On the contrary, she seemed to enjoy the attention. "This is Phoebe," said Mrs. Jutter, introducing her. The girl looked up at the teacher ... "But most people call me Spikey." Spikey is not afraid of anything. She isn't even afraid of Arnold, and she takes Floyd under her wing. Spikey shares a big secret with Floyd: Arnold turns out to practice voodoo. When Arnold discovers that Floyd knows, Floyd lands in big trouble. How will Flea and Spikey escape the wrath of Arnold and the machinations of his mother? And how will Floyd come to terms with his obnoxious nickname? With plenty of humor, Peter Koolwijk introduces the reader to the world of Flea and Spikey where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Illustrator Linde Faas gives Spikey, the girl everyone wants to be friends with, her cheerful and unique form.
