When all eight books of The Fly Papers are released, the names, listed, will form a sort of poem. Books 1 and 2 are out already, and we’re working on Book 3: The Aldrovanda Turns.
(An aldrovanda is an amazing carnivorous waterweed – like a floaty Venus flytrap. Sadly we can’t get them in NZ.)
So. Here’s the poem so far:
The flytrap snaps
The sundew stalks
The aldrovanda turns ….
What do you think the next line in the poem might be? In other words – what do you think book 4 will be called?
Here are some other carnivorous plant names to give you ideas:
Pitcher plant
Bladderwort
Butterwort
Cobra lily
Byblis
Pinguicula
Heliamphora
Sarracenia
Cephalotus
Nepenthes
Have a guess what Book 4 will be called in the comments, and you’ll go in the draw to win the first two books in The Fly Papers – as well as go on our list to receive a free copy of Book 3 as soon as it’s out.
You don’t have to be right! It’s going to be a random draw. Have fun!
