Serge, the Snail Without a Shell (pb)
Author: Harriet Alida Lye, Rosa Rankin-Gee,
Artist : Andrea Blinick
Publisher: Nimbus Publishing Limited
The whimsical debut picture book by two celebrated novelists about a slug, desperate to fit in at all costs, and the adventure he embarks upon to learn that maybe being yourself is best of all!
Serge was a snail without a shell.
His mum and his dad were shell-less as well.
“You’re no more than a SLUG!” the snails at school taunted.
I wish I had a shell. It was all that Serge wanted.
Serge is not like the snails at school. They call him a horrible name—slug—and even though that’s entirely what he is, he wishes for a shell of his own.
Feeling like an outcast, Serge sets off on a solo adventure in search of the elusive shell that will make a perfect home—and make him just like everybody else. After some much-needed advice from his friend Fish, he finds himself at the ocean, where many options await: “Big shells and teeny shells/ All the in-betweeny shells/ Pyramid and swirly shells/Altogether curly shells!”
But can Serge find the perfect shell, or is he destined to be different forever?
A charming, lyrical story with bouncy text, whimsically illustrated by artist Andrea Blinick, Serge the Snail Without A Shell puts a modern twist on a tale as old as time: trying to fit in at all costs, before realizing that maybe being yourself is best of all.
