From the publisher

Astrid the fly loves exploring. With her big eyes, two wings, and four legs, she can fly super-fast. She likes to zoom around looking for sweet treats and her favorite Danish salami. But Astrid’s family isn’t keen on her risky behavior. They try to scare her with stories of flyswatters and vacuums, and warnings of an uncle who went missing. Astrid doesn’t listen, until one day she encounters real danger: the refrigerator. Astrid’s irresistible thirst for adventure will have readers rooting for her from start to finish.
