One night, a young boy wakes to a strange buzzing in the dark.
Frightened at first, he hides beneath the covers - until courage takes hold and he decides to face the mysterious visitor in his room.
To his surprise, the intruder is no ordinary fly. Dressed in a suit and red-striped tie, Terrence McKleen is a tiny, talking, half-man, half-fly with wonderful news to share: he has become a father, and his family is about to set off on a grand adventure.
Told in playful rhyme and brought to life with richly atmospheric illustrations, The Transfixing Tale of Terrence McKleen is a whimsical illustrated story about imagination, bravery, friendship and the strange magic that can appear when the world is quiet.
Perfect for curious young readers who enjoy rhyming stories, mysterious visitors and tales just a little out of the ordinary.
