Hi guys, just before we start the show here is a warning. We have a special guest on today.

0:09.0

Yes, very exciting guest, a author, a published author.

0:12.4

A published author? I can't believe we've pinned her down.

0:15.4

But one of the ways we haven't pinned her down is that she works in the office with us.

0:18.8

It's Ann Miller. You will have heard her before.

0:21.0

That's right. Ann Miller has just released her debut children's book. It's so good.

0:25.8

It's called Mickey and the Animal Spies and it is the story of a young girl who gets recruited into a secret organization called Cobra.

0:34.8

But it is not manned by humans, but by animals.

0:38.8

That's right. I'm not a child, but I have actually read it and I genuinely loved it.

It's like a fantasy book that you wish you'd had if you were sort of 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 34.

1:05.8

It's almost a mini-activity book. It features some cracking animals. It gets cats in it. There's rats.

1:10.8

There's complex characters who maybe you don't love at first, but you grow very fond of.

1:15.8

There is a Cobra. It's a very funny pun on the real-life Cobra organization and then Cobra the Snake.

1:22.8

It's a brilliant book. Go get it.

1:24.8

And to get it, you should go on the internet where you can buy books or you should go to a bookshop where you can also buy books and just ask for Mickey and the Animal Spies.

1:33.8

Buy and Miller, who joins us on today's show, so let's get to it on with the episode.
