Tarantulas On The Brain - Marilyn Singer


Almost everyone has wanted a pet at one point. Lizzie Silver isn't any different except for one thing. She wants a tarantula for a pet. Lizzie and her friend Tessa figure out a way to get one but it's pretty expensive. So they decided to have a junk sale but they accidentaly sold Lizzie's mother's wedding ring! Lizzie changed her mind about the sale and got a job. It was to take care of the animals that a magician was using. But then things took a turn for the worst and Lizzie had to step up to being the magician's asisstant. How is she going to keep the job a secret from her parents and her older sister? Will she ever get her taratula?
The answers are no and yes. A girl name Julie Lindstrom just happened to be at Lizzie's performance (being an asissstant meant being part of the show,too) and she threatened to tell about the job unless she would give the job to her. But Lizzie wouldn't do it. Find out what happens next in this fabulously written book.
