Book Description
Today Sophie Spikey has a very big problem. She has lost her shoes, again! There is no way she is asking her mum for help, though. I can fix it all by myself, she thought. Sophie did not have an easy start in life and now she cannot trust grown-ups to help her. Luckily, her new mum is good at guessing when Sophie needs a helping hand. Written by a mum who understands, and her daughter (who did not like asking for help), this is a story for children functioning at age 3-10.

Book Description
As far as Norman Penkridge is concerned, there’s only one problem with having an angel floating above his living room carpet. He’s an atheist! When reclusive computer geek, Norman, starts receiving heavenly visitations, his fiercely logical brain assumes he’s going mad. But as attempts to prove they’re a figment of his imagination fail, he’s faced with a far more alarming scenario. If real, he must accept he’s been chosen from the whole of humanity to prevent EVERYTHING in the Universe... and a few extra dimensions he’s never even heard of... ceasing to exist. That not only includes a Supreme Being he doesn’t believe in, but - of far more immediate concern to Norman - his own bedsit off the Bayswater Road. Writing in a refreshingly original style that's been described as "Douglas Adams meets Terry Pratchett meets Dan Brown", Andy Dane Nye casts a satirical eye over the subject of religion, whilst encouraging the reader to explore the true nature of spirituality in this engaging, humorous, quirky, mystery adventure. “Just brilliant. Witty, clever and totally enthralling. Couldn't put it down.” Amazon review. “Captivating from beginning to end.” Amazon review. “An unfolding intelligent puzzle that’s gripping all the way through.” Amazon review. “A rollicking good read!” Amazon review. “Brilliant, surreal and laugh out loud funny.” Amazon review. “So good I read it twice.” Amazon review. If you’re looking for an unputdownable, thought-provoking read, centred around a mysterious international art conspiracy… featuring spiritual paradoxes and Templar intrigue… where an unlikely hero has to do battle with a group of ruthless industrialists who've chosen to style themselves on the Gods of Ancient Greece… two crack CIA operatives, whose corrupt boss is in the latter’s pay… an eccentric tramp with a posh voice who claims to talk to the dead… an increasingly irate and problematic landlord with the same surname as the father of the atomic bomb… and where the hero's toughest opponent might turn out to be himself… then this is the perfect book for you! A definite must for those who love their fictional intrigue to be mixed with a healthy dose of philosophical musings... and plenty of laughs!

I have enjoyed many Spikey performances and no two are ever exactly the same. Love the diversity!!
