Lucas Gets a Tarantula

Lucas wants a tarantula.

Not a toy one. Not a picture. A real eight-legged fuzzy friend.

But there's just one tiny (okay, HUGE) problem . . . Mom is terrified of spiders

So, Lucas sets out on a mission to change her mind. Armed with fun facts and a patient heart, he's determined to show her that tarantulas aren't creepy but cool.

Can he help her face her fears and finally say yes to his dream pet?

A sweet and funny story about courage, compassion, and the special bond between a boy and his mom.
