Westly is a caterpillar who is destined to be a Monarch butterfly, but when he emerges from his cocoon he is not what he expected. He’s a spider!

Westly flees his home among the butterflies and is eventually adopted by the “dirt eaters.” But where does Westly belong? And what can he do to stop an outside threat that could destroy his entire kingdom? One thing is for certain, Westly is determined to make a difference, to belong, to be loved, and most importantly, to become who he was born to be.

Bryan Beus—which rhymes with Zeus—is the winner of the Kirchoff/Wohlberg Award from the New York Society of Illustrators. He has done illustrations for book covers and now works full time as an artist of fine art illustrations. When not writing and drawing, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Amanda, mindful meditation, drinking root beer floats, and eating far too many Sour Patch Watermelons. Westly is his debut novel.

Ramón de Ocampo, a graduate of the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, has been seen on television, film, and stages worldwide. He has won the Obie Award for his stage work and eleven AudioFile Earphones Awards for his narration.
