Bookroo's summary

In Wolver Hollow, where eerie happenings are the norm, twins Tara and Travis face their biggest fear: a spider the size of a dog. With their parents away, the siblings must confront this monstrous arachnid to save their babysitter and the pizza delivery guy. As strange lights flicker in the sky and the town's adults remain oblivious, Tara and Travis embark on a thrilling quest to outwit the creature lurking in the shadows. Can they conquer their fears and protect their home from this eight-legged terror?

From the publisher

In this third installment in the spooky and silly series that’s perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, a kid home alone faces off against a giant spider! Wolver Hollow is not a normal town. The adults are too busy shuffling off to work at the old coffin factory to notice or care, but the kids know all about monsters, ghosts, and strange lights in the sky. Strange things happen in Wolver Hollow. Creepy things. Adults are always telling kids that spiders are more afraid of them than they are of the spider. But what about when that spider is the size of a dog? And your parents are out? And you just saw it scuttle past the open doorway to the living room? You know it’s waiting to jump out and eat you. You have no choice…you have to find it before it finds you!
