Seven Spiders Spinning — Gregory Maguire

Kiss of the Siberian Snow Spider

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 captured by the Tattletales' classmate, Pearl. Six alarmed arachnids set off one by one to rescue the 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 poison snow spider -- and that's the bite of love gone bad!
