Follow and join in the family's excitement as they wade through the grass, splash through the river and squelch through the mud in search of a bear. What a surprise awaits them in the cave on the other side of the dark forest!

This month's challenge for the National year of Reading is to read a graphic novel. This one may take you a bit out of your comfort zone, especially our adult readers. On the contrary, these seem to be quite popular with our younger readers.
Why not try something new the next time you visit us at the library.

Len Deighton was a prolific British author, best known for his gritty and realistic Cold War Spy stories. Deighton redefined the genre in the 1960s and introduced us to a new kind of spy: working-class, cynical and very tough... and brilliantly portrayed by Michael Caine when the books became films. Being a spy suddenly became very cool indeed!
