Four kids with distinct personalities have to survive a world overrun by cosmic spiders. For a middle grade horror novel, this story is surprisingly dark. It's not afraid to go post-apocalyptic from page 1 and dang is it full of creepy moments. It's written in an easy, quippy, middle-grade style, but it explores some very adult themes and has a body count (without actual deaths). I started reading this book in fifth grade, but I wasn't ready for it back then. Now, I wish I had stuck it out, because this is one of the best 90s kid-horror novels I've ever read. Truly imaginative, truly thrilling. I can't wait to read the second half.
(Be prepared: This book ends on a cliffhanger.)
