September sees the publication of Icarus Was Ridiculous, the 8th book in the best-selling and award-winning series by the dynamic duo, illustrator Thomas Flintham and author Pamela Butchart. From demon dinner ladies to vampire rats, this time we find ourselves in ancient Greece with four retellings of the most dramatic myths.

Izzy just loves the Greek stories and can’t wait to tell her friends all about the massive wooden horse of Troy and Icarus, who was a total wally and flew so close to the sun his wings melted. So pull up a plinth and enjoy all the action and adventure of the originals but with loads more sandals, extra laughs and hilarious illustrations!
