Synopsis of the Book Louie the Bee.

In the first book we are introduced to the simple life Louie the Bee leads (as a member of a civilized insect community) along the bank of a stream. The stream, because of where the water is sourced, has the property to allow the insects to live for up to 100 years. To the insects the stream is the most idyllic place to live and they will do anything to protect their right to live there.

Al Spider and the Valley Barn gang are a threat in the early part of the story. Al Spider is dealt to by some cleverness on the part of leader and Queen, Pearl Baker-Moth, along with assistance from Louie, the Ten Ants and Virgil Blue a dragon fly.

Louie stumbles on some unusual properties relating to quartz at the end of a disused tunnel. At the time Louie doesn't realize the true significance of what he has found. Further investigation subsequently leads to the saving of the insect community from certain disaster by the use of powers relating to the quartz.
The powers facilitated by the quartz enable the insects to deal with the main threat to their community (not Al Spider) but the local village council. In fact the powers the insects have towards the end of the first book enable the insects to take on the world to preserve their own environment.

In the second book the story moves on from the "Insects Prevail". Louie's life is far from being a simple existence by a stream (as it was when we were first introduced to Louie) and in due course the world does indeed belong to the insects. The Insects discover an amazing place to live and there are some frightening revelations about the fate of an earlier insect civilization.The insects also discover their origins and how they relate to the ancient Egyptians. It seems they also discover the origins of humans as well. Find out what the the insects think about global warming - maybe they are right!

Anyone who has been "ripped off" by others will enjoy the second book about Louie the Bee. The insects ultimately have the ability to put right what is wrong in the world. They can fight greed and crime and restore justice to those who have been affected by such facets of human life. In effect Louie the Bee and his compatriots become the "Robin Hood" of modern times.

Although full of humour, "Louie the Bee" has serious underlying messages as to how we should live as humans. The story is for the mature reader, it is sensitive in nature, it will draw strong emotional responses and leave the reader wondering "where on earth" is human civilization heading!
