How to Draw Plants

When Kermal and Anna call in at Professor Ellison's, all is not as it should be. It seems the strange Professor's latest scheme may have had bugs in it... and not your normal house or garden types either! Can they find him and escape? These simple yet engrossing stories for reluctant readers are heavily illustrated with a minimal spread of text throughout. They are designed for readers with a reading level much lower than their interest level. Bold, original and inviting, the Full Flight Fear and Fun series caters for a reading age of 7.5-8 and an interest age of 8-14.

Sophie's Rules

Foo Fighters is an American rock band, formed in Seattle, Washington in 1994. It was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana after the death of Kurt Cobain. The group got its name from the UFOs and various aerial phenomena that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II, which were known collectively as "foo fighters." Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear to complete the lineup. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of the group's second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997), when most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl himself. Smear's departure followed soon afterward, though he would rejoin them in 2006.
