Andy Huxtable was born in the East End of London and is a keen supporter of Leyton Orient F.C. After selling his two companies he decided to retire in the year 2000. Having three young children and spending lots of time reading bed-time stories to them, Andy decided to write children’s books himself based on two characters called Charlie and Sam.
Charlie and Sam are given a very important job to do by the Queen Ant and she must always be obeyed. They must figure out a way to complete the task without having to work too hard.
When the job is completed, Charlie and Sam feel very hungry and go in search of food, this is where the trouble really begins and they find themselves in an extremely dangerous situation!
To make matters even worse, the wizard ant is then sent to find them, and he is really angry about having his time wasted by two banana head ants...
Charlie Ant is desperate. His best friend, Sam, has just fallen into a tray of curry and chips! He needs to find a way to rescue Sam before he drowns…but what can he do?
Sam is shocked when Charlie returns to help as he looks completely different!
There is no choice but to ask The Wizard Ant for help…but he is really scary!
In Charlie Ant 4: Ant Prison, join Charlie and Sam on their thrilling adventure as they embark on 'honey day' in the colony. As they join the worker ants in collecting honey for the Queen Ant, they soon realize it's not as easy as it seems. Navigating through the buzz of bees and the challenge of getting the honey down from the tree is just the beginning. When the irresistible scent of honey becomes too much to bear, Charlie and Sam give in to temptation and take just a little taste. But one taste leads to another and soon they find themselves in a sticky situation, as they must face the consequences of their actions and learn a valuable lesson. Follow their journey in this action-packed and thought-provoking tale of temptation, responsibility, and redemption.
Charlie and his best friend, Sam, are adventurous and love being outside the colony. This is eventually where the troubles begin!
They love the queen ant and try their best to do everything she asks of them. They also do their best to avoid the "wizard ant". Their worst fear is to be made to walk on six legs like the rest of the colony.
Sam’s ordinary day takes a turn for the extraordinary when a slice of jam-covered toast lands on top of him. His friend Charlie rushes to help, but the temptation of the sweet jam proves too much to resist! In the midst of their jammy predicament, the toast is suddenly snatched away. Determined to find more, Charlie and Sam venture into the house of the big people.
Their adventure leads them to George, who is engrossed in playing with his train set. Spotting a tempting sweet in one of the carriages, Charlie and Sam clamber aboard, only to find themselves whisked away as the train chugs into motion, landing them in a very sticky situation indeed.
Things escalate when Max the dog, eyeing the sweet, inadvertently gets Charlie stuck to it and pops them both into his mouth. Sam watches in dismay as his best friend vanishes
After attending a school lesson, Charlie and Sam set out on an adventure to find their own delicious honeydew, unaware of the dangers that await them. Their quest leads them to climb high into the treetops, where they finally discover the sweet prize they sought. But their triumph is short-lived as they find themselves trapped by a giant ladybird at the end of a long, thin leaf, perilously high above the ground. With only each other to rely on, Charlie and Sam must protect their precious honeydew from this formidable foe. Can they overcome the odds and outsmart the giant ladybird?
