Will he survive the pressure and still manage to create one of the most thrilling family vacations since The Lake Trip Extravaganza??

Franny Fly
and the
Blues Rock Battle

Could it be true? Franny Fly is finally shaking wings with the legendary band Handsome? Isaac Handsome, Taylor Handsome, and Zachary Handsome, best known for their 1997 hit, Mmmbuzz, are on tour promoting their rock record This Fly Around at the legendary House of Flies blues venue where rock princess Franny has entered a music competition. Can she handle her fluttering wings when heartthrob and competition judge Isaac Handsome compliments her guitar skills??

There’s No Such Thing as a
Perfect Fly

All flies dream of having perfectly shaped wings, the buzziest buzz, and being the fastest of flyers but even Frederick knows there’s no such thing as a perfect fly! Fly twins Fonzy and Fillmore are turning another year older and with that, comes a buzz of insecurities! Father Frederick knows that loving oneself comes from deep within. But it just might take a little more than Frederick’s words of wisdom to teach his handsome sons to love themselves for all they are and more!

Fiona Fly
and the
Great American Bake-Off

Fiona’s foxy husband Frederick and charming children Franny, Fonzy, and Fillmore depend on HER, more than SHE depends on them. But what happens when Fiona puts herself first, deciding once and for all that it’s her time to shine? It’s The Great American Bake-Off and this time around, Fiona is the star!

Franny’s First Dance

Valentine’s Day is approaching and Franny is eager to attend the Palm Springs Middle School Fling! What will she wear? Will all her fly friends be there? Don’t forget Fabio Fisher, the fly boy she’s secretly been crushing on since the sixth grade! Find out in this sock hop adventure!

Franny’s story is so charming. Who would have thought a fly’s nerves about crush’s and school dances would be so enjoyable, clever, and relatable! Franny is such a fun character who you root for and empathize with from the start. So earnest and amusing, her story of social jitters and learning to be herself is adorable. The book is well made and the illustrations are cute. The large text is helpful for younger readers learning to tackle longer stories too. A fun book for adults to read aloud and for kids to enjoy on their own as well.

Fillmore Fly
and the
No-Fun Flu

Fillmore’s funny aches are no fun but that’s no reason to fear living his life to the fullest! As the cautious and careful twin learns, colds and flus are part of life and getting sick is only proof that he was having fun, learning, and growing as every fly should!

My favorite part was when Fillmore didn’t feel good and all his friends were sending him things to make him feel better. It showed that they care.

Frances
Feeds the Homeless

Everyone’s favorite foodle is back! Frances may resemble a toy fox terrier more closely than he does a poodle, but the important thing is his heart — his heart for the homeless. Palm Springs, a scenic town in the heart of Coachella Valley in sunny, Southern California, may be a hot spot for tourists each summer, but for Frances, it’s home. He’s on a mission to help homeless dogs who are left without food, water, and shelter needed to survive one of the hottest summers Palm Springs has ever seen!

This author has a series of children’s books told through the view of animal characters which presents a fun way to impart valuable lessons to kids. Just delightful.
