Constantly on the look-out for being swatted, trapped or eaten, Frank the fly is fed up. He’s angry. Luckily, Uncle Freddo gives him a way to channel that anger … Fly Club, a secret supervillain organisation that has one aim: overthrow then enemies of the flies. Discover why you should never underestimate these bothersome bugs.

Flies might seem like a minor annoyance in the summer, but you are underestimating these flying fiends – flies are actually the most deadly insects on the planet! Join Frank as he discovers the mafia-like underworld of flies and finds out all about their special qualities. There is also a wall of shame for those flies who – horror of horrors! – are actually quite helpful to humans.

This is the third book in the award-winning Misunderstood Minibeasts series, that uses a bugs-eye-view and a huge dollop of storytelling humour to bring the world of these incredible creatures to life.
