Crawly! Criminy! </i>Everyone knows that Stink is bonkers about most scientific things. But there's one exception: dangle a spider in front of him and he goes berserk! Stink is so freaked out by spiders that he can't read about them. He can't look at them. He can't <i>think</i> about them. And he for-sure can't touch them! Stink has arachnophobia (a fear of spiders), and he has it <i>bad</i>. But when a hairy backyard emergency arises, Stink is forced to face his fear--and eight beady eyes--head-on. Will he manage to tame the heebie-jeebies, or will he remain stuck in his web of terror? Arachno-fans will love the comics sprinkled throughout with facts about spiders as well as a hands-on origami challenge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Newcomers will be able to slide in with ease; there's no extensive backstory here to wade through--just some quirky kids dealing with a common fear.
