The Spider In The Wing Mirror

Every summer, Sam the spider knows exactly where he'll be.

When the blue Volvo leaves London, Sam's whole year comes together. Henri in Paris. Greta in Bavaria. Jem in Brussels. The same perfect timing, every single year.

But this summer, something's different.

New rules at the border. Endless queues. A storm they can't escape. And one by one, the meeting times start slipping away.

Sam didn't ask for things to change. Neither did Lily, who whispers good luck through the car window each year. But they're the ones left waiting in the rain, watching plans fall apart for reasons nobody can explain.

A story about borders that get harder to cross, friendships that refuse to break, and the courage to keep trying-even when the world makes it difficult.

Perfect for ages 4-8 and anyone who's ever felt the distance between people who belong together.
