Book Review

‘The Itsy Bitsy Spyder’ is a fun and Mysteries novel to read from the YA Spy thriller genre. It is a story about the girl Samira or Sam and her dreams to become a spy just like her parents. I loved how sassy, funny seventeen year old Sam is shown to have spy genes running in her family. Starting from her grandmother who was the famous person in her town Ratnagiri with all the gossips of the town with her always.

Author has beautifully narrated the story of Sam’s life. I loved how Apeksha has included many interesting episodes of Sam’s life in the story. The narration is crisp and interesting and keeps you glued to it. The attitude Sam displays throughout the novel is any other typical teenager which has been beautifully portrayed in the book. The book has lot of funny and catchy examples which keep you intrigued and interested in the suspense of the story. Apeksha’s writing is fast and effortless and the story flows smoothly. The suspense at the end of the book has made me really impatient for the sequel and I am so looking forward to reading it. ‘The Itsy Bitsy Spyder’ is a fabulous prequel that makes you curious to read the book in one go.
