Can you outrun eight legs?

Andi is not afraid of spiders. They have cool fangs. They hunt using vibrations. They can even create silk on demand to make amazing homes. So when Andi learns about a spider collection at a classmate’s farm, she’s willing to do anything to see it. Even attend a blowout Halloween party she’d normally run screaming from.

At the party with her friends Devon and Carly, Andi is delighted to find a new-to-her species. This spider is nothing like she’s ever seen: huge, red-eyed, and strangely hypnotic. But when the spider escapes and starts causing havoc, Andi has a strange realization: for the first time in her life, she’s scared to death of spiders.
