The Hamlet Chronicles
by Gregory Maguire
It's the discovery of the century: seven baby Siberian snow spiders frozen
in a glacier. But as the spectacular chunk of ice is being trucked for
analysis, the tiny tarantulas defrost — and escape. And when their beady
spider eyes open for the very first time, they spy the seven members of a
girls' club, the Tattletales. Each spider picks a girl and falls instantly in
love.
But love begins to sour when one of the spiders is captured by the
Tattletales' classmate, Pearl. Six alarmed arachnids set off one by one to
rescue their sibling. And as they get bigger, they get meaner ... which means
major trouble for Pearl, the Tattletales, and the rival boys' club, the
Copycats. Because there's only one thing worse than a love bite from a poisonous
snow spider — and that's the bite of love gone bad!
