Berrington -- The Spider Who Wore Glasses [Us Edition]

Berrington - the Spider who Wore Glasses is the story of a bright young spider who struggles with his eyesight and gets bullied at school because he has trouble following the lessons.
But, with the support of two good friends, he overcomes the problem of having a lazy eye and stands up to the bullies who have been teasing him.
This is a light-hearted story of challenge, friendship and overcoming bullying; all told through the eyes of a young spider.
Berrington - the Spider who Wore Glasses is a fun story for all kids, and particularly those who might be having a tricky time at school. It is ideal for children of any age, especially those up to the age of 10 or 11.

Debut author Ben Lawrence is an 11-year-old living in rural Shropshire in England. His main passions are football, motor sport and photography.
Ben's idea for Berrington - the spider who wore glasses came from his own experience of being diagnosed with a lazy eye and needing to wear a patch when he was a youngster. Ben hopes that the Berrington book will encourage parents to have their children's eyes tested at an early age and receive treatment for a lazy eye if they have one. It is really important that children have their eyes tested early, even before they start school. The chances of a lazy eye correcting itself are greatly improved if the problem is picked up early. He also hopes that the story will help kids understand why some of their schoolmates need to wear an eye patch and be kind to them about it.
