Spider Boy: A Humorous Journal-Style Story About Friendship and Spider Facts for Kids (Ages 10-12) at a New School - Softcover
Synopsis
Humorous story about a boy's adjustment to new surroundings and kids in a new school.
Packed with fascinating facts about spiders, the story is told through journal entries and scenes of events. Author Ralph Fletcher follows seventh-grader Bobby Ballenger as he moves from Illinois to upstate New York with an ailing pet tarantula named Thelma.
The new school tests him further when a dispute over an unmonitored science exam escalates into playground scuffles and hallway taunts. Drawing on realistic classroom dynamics, the narrative pits Bobby against an arrogant swim-team star while pairing him with an outspoken new friend named Lucky.
Contains a spider bibliography.
- Middle School: At Regina White Middle School, an honor system experiment puts students in charge of their own classrooms, raising the stakes during testing.
- Making Friends: Seventh grader Lucky Prescott shares her running goals, family telescope sessions, and knowledge of venomous spiders to help Bobby find his footing.
- School Bully: Swim champion Chick Hall mocks Bobby as "Spider Boy" until a lunchroom confrontation and a playground tackle force both boys to face the consequences.
