4-6Deadlies series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
This sequel to Felix Takes the Stage finds the Deadlies spider family (living in the Boston Public Library) befriending a brown walnut spider named Buster and investigating theft from the rare books room. The series continues to bring a unique mix of kid-friendly adventure and creepy (and/or factual) spider details, all accompanied by humorous black-and-white cartoon illustrations.
