Nema and the Xenos : a story of soil cycles / Authors: Ailsa Wild, Briony Barr, Gregory Crocetti in colaboration with S. Patricia Stock. Illustrator: Aviva Reed.
This is a story about tiny creatures that live in the darkness of the soil. When a tree cries out in pain, some unexpected heroes come to the rescue. Nema and her gang of young nematodes (tiny worms) embark on a dangerous journey underground. The Xenos, a group of wise but deadly bacteria, hitch a ride. The story of how they help the tree is full of action, life-or-death challenges and microscopic warfare. It is a story of co-operation and ancient partnership, about events happening all over the Earth, in the hidden worlds beneath our feet.
