Seven Spiders Spinning

A parent might reach for this book when their child is navigating the tricky social dynamics of elementary school cliques and rivalries. In rural Vermont, two sworn-enemy clubs, the all-girl Tattletales and the all-boy Copycats, are forced to cooperate when a science experiment goes awry. Seven prehistoric spiders, frozen in ice for millennia, thaw and escape into the town, causing quirky chaos. This humorous and imaginative story shows how a common goal can dissolve animosity and build teamwork. For kids aged 8 to 12, it is a lighthearted adventure that models problem-solving and finding common ground, even with your biggest rivals.
