Micah's class gets an exciting new pet tarantula to join their hamster, Squeaks. Then a mysterious chain of vanishing treats keeps everyone guessing until the hungry culprit is finally discovered.
I really surprised myself at my rating for this one. I liked it better than the last one that I read by this author. I thought I was going to like it less because it has a...spider. A tarantula, to be exact. *shivers* But I think I liked this one better because, somehow, I could relate to Micah a little bit more than I could to Elizabeth in There's a Hamster in My Lunchbox. I'm not sure why. It was pretty good, but still 3.5 stars.
