The Woleb by Tom Fletcher and illustrated by Shane Devries is a short children’s story created in 2020 as part of McDonald’s Happy Readers book collection, a programme that offered free storybooks with Happy Meals in the UK and Ireland to encourage early-age reading. The Woleb features characters Izzy and her cousin Benji on a magical adventure that leads them deep underground into a topsy-turvy world called the Woleb, filled with peculiar and fun creatures inspired by Fletcher’s imagination; the story combines whimsy, adventure and vibrant illustrations by Devries to make reading enjoyable for young readers.
