Articoli correlati a The Spindlers
Evocative of Neil Gaiman's Coraline, this new middle-grade novel by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver follows twelve-year-old Liza as she braves the fantastical underworld and its many unusual creatures to rescue her younger brother, who has been stolen by the evil, fearsome spindlers.
THE SPINDLERS is about a heroine who is braver than she ever thought, and who must undertake an audacious quest for a beloved family member. The Spindlers are spider-like beings that steal children's souls; they have stolen the soul of Liza's younger brother Patrick. Armed with little more than her wits and an unusual guide, Liza descends underground and faces otherworldly obstacles from tree-snakes to shape-shifting serpents in order to rescue her brother. Like THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, CORALINE, and ALICE IN WONDERLAND, THE SPINDLERS reveals a dark and fascinating world that exists within our own.
