 S.W.I.T.C.H.: #1 Spider Stampede. by Ali Sparkes
 Gr. 2-4

Josh and Danny are identical twins but their likeness ends with their looks.   For instance Danny hates any type of bugs and screams when he encounters creepy crawlies.  Josh loves insects and is fascinated with all creatures no matter how ugly they are.  While playing with their dog Piddle he got into the neighbor’s back yard, Mrs. Potts.  When they go searching for him they find a tunnel in her backyard and they stumble upon her secret underground laboratory.  They find they are covered in yellow goo and the results are shocking.  Josh and Danny begin shrinking and changing into spiders.  This story takes the reader on a journey searching for a way back to becoming humans.  Students will find this story exciting and enjoy trying to figure out what happens next.  This book definitely appeals to boys and is excellent for reluctant readers.
