Secrets of Dripping Fang Book Four: Fall of the H

Cheyenne and Wally have been kidnapped by the horrible Mandible sisters. Why in the world would anyone (even Hedy and Dagmar, evil giant ants who are plotting to destroy the human race) want to kidnap a snotty ten-year-old girl with so many allergies that she is always sneezing and blowing her nose. Maybe it is better that you do not know. Now it is up to Wally to rescue his sister. Throw in a vampire dad whose volunteer activities at the bloodmobile are making everyone uncomfortable. Add Miss Jolly and her singing orphans ("Could we love a spider mommy? Yes, we could. We don‘t care if she is weird, if she‘s good." and the Spydells (they prefer to adopt because if they have children of their own, Shirley Spydell would devour husband Edgar after mating—it‘s a spider thing, you know. Fast paced, silly and gross—a quick and entertaining read kids will enjoy. Although this book is part of the "Secrets of Dripping Fang" series, it can be read and enjoyed independently. 2006, Harcourt, Ages 8 to 10. (Children's Literature - Anita Barnes Lowen )
