Nicola Slater: Leaping Lemmings!

Leaping Lemmings, published by Sterling and illustrated by the fabulously talented Nicola Slater, is available to pre-order now (September 2016).

Think before you leap! Lemmings look alike, they sound alike, and they act alike. So if one jumps off a cliff, the others will jump right after him . . . except Larry. Larry’s very independent-minded and he won’t follow his fellow lemmings blindly to their doom. But can he teach them to use their brains and stop making terrible group decisions? John Briggs has created a wonderfully funny, quirky tale about staying true to yourself, while Nicola Slater’s witty illustrations capture all the humour and pathos of Larry’s situation.
