Zada

Malcolm Gerloch

It's a strange world where a spider called Alex falls in love with a dragonfly called Zada. Even stranger when that spider is a dance champion, and his friend, Grant, is some sort of rap artiste. The Gordon, however, is not at all like that but a greedy bully of a spider with an orange mane from whom Zada must be rescued.
This is a story filled with colour and displays of trust about a search, a rescue and a triumphal homecoming. A mustering of spiders, dragonflies and butterflies gives way to a grand party - a rave, you might say - which illuminates the evening light with sparkle and a deafening beat.
For a reading parent or grandparent, there are allusions to two famous stories of old as well as to one inane politician of our times so there is fun for everyone.

About Author

Malcolm Gerloch, author

Malcolm Gerloch

Dr. Gerloch retired in 1999 from a career as academic and research scientist in the field of quantum chemistry in the University of Cambridge. He is an Emeritus Fellow of Trinity Hall. He and his wife, Gwyneth, have since lived in Canberra, Australia. During his first twenty years of blissful retired domesticity, Malcolm has enjoyed gardening, house renovation and above all, learning to cook in several cuisines. Gwyneth has relinquished the kitchen with mixed feelings. Prior to writing (mostly) children's books, Malcolm's greatest achievement has been the construction of a dual-manual harpsichord for his wife to play. That was a present to thank her for introducing him to the non-scientific literature of - mostly - the nineteenth and twentieth century European and twentieth century North American writers.
