Alongside his BFFs, big hairy Ralph and spindly daddy-long-legs

Audrey, he searches for a way to clear his name ...

But to succeed, Milton realises he must communicate with his house

humans, a schoolgirl called Zoe - and her arachnophobic

dad ... Is he mighty enough to achieve the impossible?

to clear his name by befriending his house-human, Zoe.
