Relation To Books The Spindlers
Evocative of Alice in Wonderland, this novel from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver is a bewitching story about the reaches of loyalty and the enduring power of hope. Perfect for fans of the author’s other middle grade novels: Liesl & Po and the Curiosity House series.Looking across the breakfast table one morning, twelve-year-old Liza feels dread wash over her. Although her younger brother, Patrick, appears the same, Liza knows that he is actually quite different. She is certain that the spindlers—evil, spiderlike beings—came during the night and stole his soul. And Liza is also certain that she is the only one who can rescue him.
Armed with little more than her wits and a huge talking rat for a guide, Liza descends into the dark and ominous underground to save Patrick's soul. Her quest is far from easy: she must brave tree-snakes, the Court of Stones, and shape-shifting scawgs before facing her greatest challenge in the spindlers' lair, where more than just Patrick's soul is at stake.

I'm in love with Lauren Oliver's writing all over again. Before I Fall and Delirium showed us that she can write emotional, heartwrenching novels. I haven't read Liesl & Po yet (where have I been?), but Spindlers has shown me that she can write magical fantasies that will capture the heart and inner child of middle-grade readers everywhere.As I've mentioned in some past reviews, I'm an older sister myself, and I can easily relate to Liza. Yes, siblings get in fights, but they're your bestI absolutely loved Liesl and Po, which was also written by Oliver and is middle grade fantasy as well. It was one of my favorite books from last year and one I highly recommend. I unfortunately can't say the same about "The Spindlers." There were some highly quotable passages from this book that I truly loved, but I just didn't find that level of emotion sustained throughout. It felt like Oliver was trying to create the sort of charming creepiness that authors like Roald Dahl are known for, but

This book has been compared to the Wonderland books and the Gregor the Overlander titles, but it doesn't measure up to either of these great series about worlds below ground. What Oliver does deliver is a likeable, stand-alone book with themes of perseverence, hope, love and friendship, and that is enough. I have grown a little tired of trilogies and lengthy series, so it's refreshing to find a good read that doesn't go on and on ad infinitum. And make no mistake, this is a good read even though
loved the whole under world. Liza has to save the soul of her little brother Patrick. Mirabella and all the other creatures are so cool
Can we just take a moment to apprieciate how beautiful the cover of this book is. It is stunning. Not only that the inside pages are stunning. Each chapter is decorated with a character from the story, each are beautiful. Anyway back to the story. This story was magical, when i was reading it i was transported below with Liza and was with her as she battled the nids, scwags and the spindlers. I would reccomend every one to read this. It was such a good read and i loved every moment of it.This is
Excuse me Goodreads, but you seem to have neglected to have a description for this book, and don't tell me "there wasn't one to put" because, FYI : When Liza's younger brother Patrick's soul is stolen by the evil Spindlers, spider-like creatures who live underground, she knows she must set out on a heroic quest to the world Below to rescue it.Taken from Lauren Oliver's own website.Lauren Oliver fan :)
