Title : Seven Spiders Spinning

Author: Gregory Maguire


This storybook is a short novel, but the storyline is really interesting. The story is about seven tarantulas. The story begins when seven baby Siberian snow spiders frozen in a glacier. They defrost and escape to Hamlet, Vermont.

The protagonist of the story is Pearl who is a student. She is a very brave and clever girl. Her teacher is Miss Green. One night, when Pearl walked through Foggy Hollow, she saw a tarantula and she captured it for her “Show And Tell”. The other six spiders witness the kidnap of their siblings. One by one, they tried to save the spider, but failed. Finally, there was only one spider left. The spider bite Mrs Green and Mrs Green fainted immediately. She was later saved by her students by mixing chemicals. The last spider was eventually dead. It is a very exciting and shivering story.
