The Mysteries of Spider Kane

I lost count of how many times I read this book. Mary Pope Osborne, who you probably know as the wonderful author of the Magic Treehouse Series, wrote it and she didn’t waste a single bit of her talent. I am not the sort of person who would ever call a spider, or any other bug for that matter, cute. Yet, I’m still nuts about this book. The elegant and classy detective, Spider Kane, and his band of followers-all in disguise-drew me in. Poor Leon the butterfly is dreadfully worried about his new friend, Mimi, when she suspiciously disappears. His ladybug friends take him to Spider Kane for help, and together they all travel to the horrible lair of the Emperor Moth, intending to rescue their friend. You’ll love the surprising ending, and the second story that follows, holding a brand-new, daring adventure. I loved the book because I love mysteries, but even if you don’t, you will like this one!
