I love spiders and that's why I read this book! A young boy named Bobby has just moved from Illinois. He's just moved to New Paltz, New York when he starts his new school but there is a boy named Chick Hall. Chick likes hassling him and starts calling Bobby "Boy from Illinois". Bobby was getting mad, at the same time he was worried because his girl tarantula Thelma wasn't moving a lot. Now
you read the rest.

My book "Spider Boy" was a pretty good book.It was funny and exciting.It was about a boy and his spider.I have read the book 2 times.I think if you read it you would love it. It was the the best book I have ever read.

This is a great book to get boys into some reading. Also good for discussion on being different and acceptance. Fletcher writes from his experiences as a boy and blends humor with reality.

Spider Boy by Ralph Fletcher is a pretty good book. It's about a kid named Bobby that moves to New York. He wants everyone to like him so he tells lies about where his dad works.
Then a boy named Chic Hall finds out that Bobby likes spiders, and calls him Spider Boy. Later on, Bobby is pared up with a girl named Lucky for a project, and become friends.
Towards the end, Bobby and Lucky go to to a party and dances. Then they become boy friend and girl friend. Chick also stops calling names.

THIS BOOK IS A GREAT BOOK FOR KIDS. I AM A KID AND SPIDER BOY IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. I LIKED THE WAY RALPH FLECHER WROTE THE BOOK. I WISH HE WOULD MAKE ANOTHER ONE.
IT IS ABOUT A BOY NAMED BOBBY WHO JUST MOVED TO TO A SMALL TOWN IN NEW YORK. HE HAS A UBSECION WITH SPIDERS AND THE KID AT HIS NEW SCHOOL NAMED CHICK HALL CALLS HIM SPIDER BOY,AND THATS HOW HE GETS THE NAME SPIDER BOY. THERE IS A HOLE LOT THAT HAPPENDS IN THE STORY. YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO SEE HOW GOOD IT IS.
THE MOREL OF THE STORY IS THAT HE IS ANEW KID IN SCHOOL AND HE IS IN HIS LITTEL SHELL. HE LIKES TO MAKE UP STORYS AND THINGS. HE MEETS A GIRL NAMED LUCY HWO IS HIS GOOD FRIEND. SHE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS HIM (BEING THE NEW KID IN TOWN) AND THE REST YOU HAVE TO READ.

Ralph Fletcher is a dynamic writer. If you have ever experienced the emotions of moving during your youth, you can readily identify with Bobby, the book's main character. Children who are fascinated with spiders will be intrigued. This realistic fiction will tug at your heart; connecting the reader to new and old memories of their youth. A great gift for yourself or your children. I recommend Fig Pudding, by Fletcher, too.
