This is the diary... of a spider. But don't be worried - he's more scared of you and your gigantic shoes than you will be of him! Actually he's a lot like you. He goes to school and enjoys playing in the park. But he also spins sticky webs, scales walls and takes wind-catching lessons. And his best friend is a fly!

Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, the team behind the bestselling Diary of a Worm, spin an hilarious tale about the upside-down web world of an eight-legged charmer and his unlikely friend, Fly.
