Summary

Best and Least/ Recommendations

Best: I liked how the author personified the spiders and gave them each an attitude.

Worst: Very unrealistic because an animal wouldnt be able to survive thousands of year in ice

Seven Spiders Spinning-By Gregory Maguire

I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys learning about an undiscovered animal like a Siberian Snow Spider

Characters/Description

Favorite Quote/ Favorite Part

Quote: With perfect awful timing, the spider dropped onto the needle-like point on the pencil, right through the chest cavity.

Miss Earth: Very kind and has fun with her students but is an air head

Sammy Grubb: Leader of the Copycats Club. Smart and leads his club to defeat the other club

Pearl Hotchkiss: Mostly quiet and is the only one in the class that is not part of a club. She captures a Snow Spider.

Thekla Mustard: Snobby and the leader of the girls club.

Other Characters: Nina Bueno, Carly Garfunkel, Nurse Lark, Nurse Crisp, Pierre Montrose

Setting: Current time, in Hamlet, Vermont at Josiah Fawcett Elementary school

My favorite part was when the spiders made a nest in the woods because the size was so large that they were able to capture birds and squirrels. I researched to see if this was possible and it definitely is. Some spiders even have enough power to kill a horse.
