There once was a strange little town, on a strange little hill. The people were strange, the cars were strange, the pets, e houses, the sky was strange. And in a corner of the strange town, in a tall house, lived a boy. He never went out; he enjoyed being paper white. He never played with the other children; he never spoke a word. You may say he was strange, but the people of Grepleton, the strange town, never batted an eyelash. The boy was Edward, who enjoyed peppermint tea, his top hat with a red band around it's middle, and spiders, or particularly, his pet spider, Thicket.
Follow Edward and Thicket on their great big adventure outside of Grepleton, and out into the strange world!
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
