Gr 37 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 Moody

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).
