Description
In "S.W.I.T.C.H.: Spider Stampede," twins Josh and Danny undergo a dramatic transformation when their next-door neighbor Petty Potts, a peculiar scientist, exposes them to an experimental serum that turns them into spiders with eight legs and the ability to shoot webbing from their bodies. The brothers must navigate their backyard while in spider form and figure out how to reverse the effects before the day is over. This is the first book in the S.W.I.T.C.H. series.
Quick Summary
What makes this book special is the absolutely wild premise of spending an entire afternoon surviving your own backyard as a teeny spider. Kids will love the gross-out factor of learning to use eight legs, spin webs, and dodge lawnmowers while the clock ticks down to sunset when the spell might break. If your kid devours the weird-science fun of the "I Survived" series or loves creepy-crawly humor, they'll be totally hooked. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 6 who want a quick, thrilling read with a seriously icky twist.
