Product Description
Spyder's Rebellion is the semi-true story of how Sarah Paulette Eider sowed chaos and overthrew her middle school. Filled with hippies, punks, all-American middle school patriots, anarchists, Christians, vegans, weird intellectual prodigies, blizzards, underground newspapers, student council elections, great debates, and startling adventures, Spyder's Rebellion is a unique and subversive book, aimed at readers ages 10-15. It's also a story of friendship, dawning romance, family, and how a group of middle-school students awakens to a world of political and philosophical ideas. Almost uniquely among books aimed at this age group, it takes ideas seriously, and takes its readers seriously as budding intellectuals.
