After their kooky neighbor Petty Potts turned the twins, Danny and Josh, into spiders in book #1, they are avoiding her! The boys are just trying to help their mom win a gardening contest when someone ruins all her hard work with vandalism. The boys suspect their other neighbor Mrs. Sharpe, but looks like they are going to have to “be a fly on the wall” as Petty puts it, if they want to find out for sure!
What a great series to get bug interested boys into reading some chapter books. The author does a great job writing about the experience, and dangers, of being a bug! The characters are well defined and interesting. Can stand as a read alone. This is a series I am going to pick up, students will love this. If the covers were a bit more dynamic and well created, this would have been essential.
