Westly: A Spider's Tale

172 pp. | Shadow | September, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62972-068-5 $15.99
(4) 4-6 After a very implausible beginning--a caterpillar is transformed into a spider rather than a butterfly--this story brings to life a world inside a glass "menagerie" (a derelict greenhouse?). Butterflies don't interact with other insects, and exiled spider Westly tries to fit in with the industrious bugs. After many missteps and a major threat, he finds his place. Delicate line drawings enhance the mood.
