Spider Brains

"Simply put, Susan Wingate is a master of the written word. In SPIDER BRAINS, she weaves a heart-warming tale full of wit and intrigue: a nod to Kafka's Metamorphosis in a quirky blend with The Princess Diaries. There are laugh out loud moments with the teenage protagonist, Susie Speider, whose voice was well executed and credible. But there are also moments that tug at the heartstrings and even bring a tear to the eye, as we see Susie's angst when she faces pain from the past, as well as redemption through the relationship with her mother. Whether or not you're a fan of YA literature, you'll love SPIDER BRAINS. But don't expect anything ordinary!" ~from award-winning, no. 1 Amazon & no. 1 Barnes & Noble bestseller, Joshua Graham (author of "Darkroom" (Howard Books) and "Beyond Justice") After her father's death last year and, now, in the throes of a gnarly teacher's whim as she thinks ahead to college, a small black arachnid bites fifteen-year-old Susie Speider gets bit on the finger and sends her nights into fantastical dreams about taking revenge on a teacher - a one Ms. Morlson - who, ultimately, holds Susie's college aspirations in the sweaty palm of her cold calloused hand. But, after Susie figures out the dreams are real, she ups the ante and visits the teacher regularly but... as the spider. And, oh, by the way! Who is that boy spider munching on flies, hiding over there in the corner?
