Seven Spiders Spinning
A hyperactive, off-the-wall novel for young readers involving the escape of seven rare Siberian snow spiders en route to a laboratory at Harvard University. The spiders end up building webs on the outskirts of Hamlet, Vermont, where the school year has just begun. In the class of the almost-too-good-to-be-true teacher Miss Earth, the Tattletales and the Copycats, rival clubs of girls (Tattletales) and boys (Copycats), are already planning for the next round of their ongoing battle of the sexes. Horror! Unbeknownst to the Copycats, the Tattletales, Miss Earth, or the rest of Hamlet's citizenry, the seven spiders are making their way one by one to Miss Earth's classroom. Has it been mentioned that the bite of a Siberian snow spider is deadly? ©1994 Cooperative Children's Book Center
