They tell a prophecy of our homelands being crushed by a falling sky. That fate has been a shadow over our people ever since. The end has begun . . . in my lifetime.

Bekka and her people are facing the end of times. They must do all in their power to save themselves from the fate they believe is theirs. But destiny is like a tightly coiled snake. Which Bekka must unfurl without getting bitten . . .



Superbly realised fantasy landscapes, from the depths of the sea to the labyrinthine Dekkan palace, and subtle characterisation, mean you'll definitely want to visit spider moon, you just won't want to leave
Daniel HahnThe Ultimate Book Guide

Particularly good for reluctant readers of eight and above
Stacia BriggsNorwich Telegraph

It will surely inspire a section of its readership to pick up a pen and get drawing, and to this end, there's even a step-by-step guide to creating the 'Spider Moon' cover art, tacked on to the end of this first book
Toon Hound

An engaging and promising read
Melissa HylandBear Alley

A delightful story, with feisty, interesting characters all told in a wonderfully colourful and gentle style
RichardForbidden Planet

I absolutely loved the underwater illustrations and colours, it is simply wow
Portrait of a Woman

Fantastical and compelling, this is a book that will surely capture the imagination of young readers, keeping them gripped all the way through to the cliffhanger ending
Vicky EdwardsChichester Observer

The dramatic illustrations of this powerful graphic novel convey the tension of a world in which a prophesy looks horribly likely to come true
Julia EccleshareLove Reading 4 Kids

Kate Brown's artwork in Spider Moon stands out with her unusual but delightful page layouts coupled with her use of colours . . . It shows just how much of a young talent its creator is and it tantalises us not just with how Bekka's story may continue but also with what else Kate Brown may produce in the future
Down The Tubes

The Spider Moon's strong female protagonist, Bekka, should be a character that will appeal to girls of all ages, and the cliffhanger ending is a perfect set-up for the eagerly awaited follow-up
Broken Frontier

Luscious eco-fable
Paul GravettWith some really interesting characters and brilliant illustrations, this book is sure to grip comic lovers
Jo MilneSouth Wales Argus

A beautifully illustrated fantasy tale with a quirky manga style . . . Breath-taking

I picked this up over the MCM Expo weekend looking to expand the comic and manga library for our club.

Out of the range of titles we picked up this really caught our attention due to the imagination and detail put into the creation of this world and the fantastic and dreamy art style.

Our one critism was that the pannels don't flow neatly at all times but it's easy enough to get over. We'll be on the lookout for more DFC at the next MCM Expo and more from The Spider Moon in the future! Thank you for the brilliant read!
