0:00.0 | 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. |
0:42.8 | It's like a fantasy book that you wish you'd had if you were sort of 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 34. |

1:00.8 | They're going to get more because it's part of a trilogy. |
1:02.8 | It is. It does have code scattered throughout it. |
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. |
1:53.8 | Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covenant Garden. |
