Ace of Spiders
Stefan Mohamed
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then ask whether the balance of superhero adventure and frightening strangeness feels right. Continue independently or together, with a pause to talk if needed.
- Themes
- Superhero powers and responsibility: Stanly gains the powers of flight and telekinesis on his sixteenth birthday; the outline says his hometown has little call for its own superhero. The premise raises the possibility of discussing what someone might do with unusual abilities.
- Worth knowing
- The London experiences are described as more terrifying than Stanly expected. If frightening or uncanny situations are a concern, consider reading together and checking in as the story develops.
