_**Ahoy! Pirates and spiders and snakes ahead! Set sail with Thaddeus, Curt, and Gracey Spyder for a day of adventure on the high seas, make an unlikely friend, and battle a great enemy of all garden creatures.

When they reach the edge of the puddle, where they aren’t supposed to go, the temptation of a pirate adventure proves to be too much.

Vesta L. Giles

"Working in a library and leading preschool literacy programs for over 15 years means author Vesta L. Giles has heard the Itsy Bitsy Spider about a billion times. In fact, she’s heard it so many times it inspired her to write a story about the real story of Harold, The Itsy Bitsy Spider (Hint: he’s a spy / kid and he saves the world). That story (it will be a future book) inspired her new series of chapter books called The Spyders. The Spyders are Harold’s three kids – Thaddeus, Gracey, and Curt, who are every bit as good at getting into trouble as their dad. Their Mom, Martha, is also a spy and knows a thing or two about getting out of trouble! A lover of all things creative, Vesta L. Giles is a writer and filmmaker based in Kamloops, BC, Canada. "
