{"product_id":"9781774711507","title":"Serge the Snail Without a Shell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459801407709,"sku":"9781774711507","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781774711507.jpg?v=1720002453","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781774711507","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
