Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping

in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children

who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them

I've got your questions to answer as always this week. They are on running on water.

And why planets around? It's a mind-blowing question. I've never thought of it. Can't wait to

figure out the answer at all on the way on this week's Fun Kids Science Weekly. Let's kick things off

for you with this week's Science in the News. A pet stick insect has surprised everyone by being

half male and half female. That means it's a Guy Nandromorph. Now Charlie, the stick insect,

showed its true colours after its shed its skin to reveal the bright green body of a female

and the brown wings of a male. An expert has said that it's the first reported Guy Nandromorph
