Review

Fans of Skye's other series books will be pleased to find this on library shelves. Apparently this is the first of another series, one where the school geeks develop super sensed powers when exposed to spiders. If that isn’t enough to encourage giggles the many follow up situations that LAME members find themselves in will win over skeptics.

The illustrations are simple line drawings accompanied by cartoon bubbles. Each character is depicted in a unique manner and is easily identified. The cartoons are sure to add to reader pleasure but the content may not make Mom happy. Graduates of the Captain Underpants series will find this book entertaining. Not a necessary purchase for libraries. Teachers may wish to include this is their classroom library for reluctant readers.

Overall Book Score: good
