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
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

what it appears to be.
