Jakoby is an orphan with a sharp tongue, a restless heart, and exactly zero interest in fairy tales. So when a talking squirrel lures him into an enchanted forest—only to be captured by wasp-riding faeries—he’s forced to rethink a few things.

​

Now he’s dodging giant insects, riding rhinoceros beetles into battle, and facing off against the terrifying spider-riders: ferocious creatures intent on destroying the faeries. All Jakoby wants is to escape … until he realizes the only way out might be to break the curse and save a family he never thought he’d have.

​

Packed with magic, cheeky humor, and high-stakes adventure, The Curse of the Spider-Riders is perfect for readers aged 8–12 who love fantasy with bite.

​

If you like Nevermoor, The Spiderwick Chronicles, or anything with talking animals and far too much bug slime—this one’s for you.
