Superworm book cover

Axel says:

Having a worm as the hero of a story is quite a challenge. They have no arms, legs, noses, ears or anything much, so all the expression had to be his eyes and mouth. I tried to sketch him in a superhero cape ...but then that looked entirely wrong. For once I tried to get the text changed - as I really hate ear-wigs, but Julia insisted on keeping her in.
