When Liza wakes up one morning and sees her brother Patrick picking the letters out of his Alpha Bits cereal, she knows he's not himself. When he spells out I-H-A-T-E-Y-O-U, she realizes that the Spindlers have his soul. Their babysitter told Liza about the Spindlers years ago, and since then, she has dutifully said the protective spell with him every night before going to sleep. But not last night...
Liza must go Below to try to save Patrick's soul from the spider-like creatures.Along the way she meets Mirabella, a human-sized, lipstick-wearing rat, and other creatures too numerous to name here. Can she save Patrick, or will the Spindlers eat Liza's soul, too?
Lauren Oliver does it again. Her writing is so convincing, so engaging, so FUN! This is just the type of book I would have loved when I was younger, and I hope that you like it, too!
