Descripción: In this third installment in the spooky and silly series that’s perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, two kids home alone face off against a giant spider!Wolver Hollow is not a normal town. The adults are too busy shuffling off to work at the old coffin factory to notice or care, but the kids know all about monsters, ghosts, and strange lights in the sky. Strange things happen in Wolver Hollow. Creepy things.Twins Tara and Travis’s parents always tell them that spiders are more afraid of them than they are of the spider. But what about when that spider is the size of a dog? With their parents out, it’s up to the siblings to outsmart the biggest arachnid they’ve ever seen and save their babysitter (and the pizza delivery guy).From School Library JournalGr 3–7—A Goosebumps-esque tale of scary proportions that will delight and engage readers. Wolver Hollow is not what it seems, but the adults seem too busy to care. One night while watching a spooky movie, Parker and Lucas get interrupted by a spider the size of a dog. Soon, the babysitter and the pizza delivery guy are being held hostage, and the kids must figure out how to stop it. Is it really true that spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them? Parker and Lucas are about to find out. The characters in this story are likable, and the detailed illustrations enhance the action. The plot is simple but maintains a quick pace. With a few intense cliff-hangers in the mix, readers will have a hard time putting this one down. Although this book is in a series, it can be read out of order. No race is mentioned. VERDICT Fans of horror, paranormal, mystery, and things that go creep in the night will want to pick this one up. Recommended for most library collections.—Kira MoodyAbout the AuthorJoe McGee loves to write about monsters and magic and other strange, curious, and quirky things. He grew up with his nose in a book and his imagination exploring other worlds. He knew when he was ten years old that one day he would grow up to be an author! He has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts and an MFA in writing from Rowan University. Joe teaches at Sierra Nevada University’s low-residency MFA program and English at Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College. He is a former Army officer and lives in the mountains of West Virginia with his wife (also a children’s author), Jessica Rinker.Teo Skaffa currently lives in Istanbul but is from a village in the Netherlands which you’ve probably never heard of, and for good reason. He loves music, video games, cinema, and swimming. He hates drawing in accurate perspective and room temperature watermelon (cold is fine though, delicious even). Coming from a traditional background, he now focuses on digital illustration and storytelling. Most of his inspiration comes from that short moment when you wake up and don’t quite understand what is happening yet, where he sees brief flashes of images and ideas which he turns into colorful illustrations.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.
