Trigger warnings: spiders. Seriously, so many spiders. Animal death, bullying, poverty
3.5 stars.
Okay, I don't know how I didn't notice that there are like a thousand spiders on the cover of this book, but I didn't. Also, as an Australian, this was freaking TRAUMATIC because I absolutely buy this potentially happening at some point in the future.
Anyway. I liked the characters, and I really enjoyed the Jurassic World references as a way for the kids to process what was going on around them. That being said, I absolutely do NOT believe this needed to be a series. One and done with the spider mayhem, pls.
