Ticky-Ticky's Quest: The Search for Anansi the Spider-Man

by Michael Auld, Michael Auld (Illustrator)

Overview

Ticky-Ticky is a twelve-year-old with a secret: He is the youngest son of the infamous trickster Anansi the Spider-man. Hiding in the human world, Ticky-Ticky fears his father's enemies will recognize and punish him for being the butt of Anansi's embarrassing pranks.

Now, the joke's on Ticky-Ticky. A school incident forces him to follow his missing father's footsteps on a dangerous quest across time and reality. Riding a magical ghost-bat canoe with a dog of the dead as his guide, Ticky-Ticky encounters Anansi's folkloric foes out for revenge. After a lifetime of avoiding his father's legacy, can Ticky-Ticky find his father before he loses his life or even worse: becomes just like him?

This is part one of a trilogy.
