Spid the Spider Joins Sir Francis Duck and His Pirates is a fast-paced, humorous pirate adventure that encourages children to think critically, ask questions and make thoughtful decisions.
Spid and his friends are planning a peaceful day fly fishing.
But when bad weather stops the ferry from running, a grand opportunity appears: a free ride on a magnificent ship offered by the charming Sir Francis Duck.
It sounds perfect.
Perhaps too perfect.
As fog rolls in and strange events unfold, Spid begins to question whether everything is as it seems. Should he trust appearances — or trust his instincts?
A swashbuckling story with an important life lesson: not every friendly offer is what it appears to be.
