Seven Spiders Spinning

The "Hook"
   "He wasn't the only one grinning. Attracted by the noise, the spider behind the movie screen had scurried down the hall and was peeping in the open doorway. It saw Lois Kennedy the Third on TV. With what it had of a mouth, it grinned. It had perfected its plan for murder"(pg.105)

"I have terrible news for Hamlet, Vermont,' said Meg Snoople. 'The dreaded  Siberian snow spider-the ones found in the glacier in the North Atlantic-" ( pg.103)

"The spiders were stronger, faster and more alert then their siblings had been. And they were angrier... Their stomachs rumbled and their mouths watered for blood. Human blood. Tattletale blood." (pages 61 and 62)

 "With perfectly awful timing, it was at just this second that the spider chose to drop... Anna Maria screamed and flung the pencil and its glob of hairy something across the room. Over the heads of her classmates sailed the pencil and the paralyzed spider. No one saw exactly what it was, but they all saw it zoom out the window like a velvet candy apple. It landed in the path of the school bus backing up with its backing-up beepers on."(page 28)
