From the Inside Flap
Bobby loves spiders and is called "Spider Boy from Illinois" by a bully at his new school.

Bobby finds that Lucky's not bad for a girl, and things look even better when he sees a chance to get revenge on Chick Hall, the school bully. But Bobby's not ready for Chick's retaliation.
