Publisher's Note

This is the diary...of a fly. A fly who, when she's not landing on your head or swimming in your soup, is trying to escape her 327 brothers and sisters who are driving her crazy!

Even though she's little -- just like her best friends Worm and Spider -- Fly wants to be a superhero. And why not? She walks on walls, sees in all directions at once, and can already fly!

Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, the team behind the New York Times bestsellers Diary of a Worm and Diary of a Spider, reach hilarious heights with their story of a little fly who's not afraid to dream big. Really big.

Industry Reviews
"Fly's dream of being a superhero and her doubts that she can be one is a feeling children will respond to...[with] a lively layout that has a comic-book vibe...."

"Cronin uses her impeccable comedic time throughout...Bliss includes many witty details in his illustrations...."
(01/01/2008)

"[A] winning formula, and readers will come away, as from the two previous outings, with sore stomachs (from laughing) and surprising amounts of painlessly delivered natural history...."
(08/01/2007)

"The story is light on plot but teeming with funny vignettes that blur the line between entomology and early childhood...DIARY OF A FLY is also a wry reminder of how frustrating it can feel to be small...."
