Preeti Chhibber has a great handle of Spider-Man's voice and world in this book. Chhibber weaves a fun tale full of action, mystery, fun references, and cute first love. And though the book is written at a middle school level, the writing never "talks down" to the reader making it a joy to read for any age.
Peter Parker has been web slinging for about 6 months and is still getting a hang of juggling school and the hero life. On top of that he still has the good ole Parker Luck to deal with as well as his feelings for his socially conscious neighbor, Mary Jane Watson. Complicating all of it is a recently released Sandman looking to make a big score for a mysterious new client.
Like mentioned, the book is for middle school age readers but the writing is a delite. Chhibber's writing flows so easily it is easy to get sucked in. She does a great job of modernizing classic character and events. She also handles MJ and Peter's relationship masterfully. She perfectly encapsules the feelings of your first big crush and early teenage relationships. It's written in such a way to be relatable to young readers while not being cheesy or "mushy" that old readers can still relate through nostalgia.
At around 300 pages it is longer than most middle school reads but a nice light read for older readers. And with it being the first of a planned trilogy it is sure to get readers to come back for more. This truly is a great pick for every Spider-Man fan in the family.

It is just such a great book!
If you like Spider-Man this book is for you, from long time fans, to someone just learning about the world of Peter Parker and his friends this book has something to offer! It has action, adventure, a clever mystery, humor, and romance! From the very first page it's clear that Preeti Chhibber is a Spider-Man fan, her love for, and knowledge of, these characters shines through on every single page!The big mystery is full of twists and turns, full of both familiar and new characters. Chhibber weaves a fascinating tale with enough clues scattered throughout to uncover bits and pieces, while still making you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. In between the mystery and action there is plenty of character drama, Peter's part time job, his friendships with his classmates as well as Spider-Man's banter during his fights with his enemies.It's not just the big moments, or main characters that make the book so wonderful. There are so many small details slipped into every scene that bring the world to life. The details of different locations, characters, and everything else bring every moment to live in bright and vivid ways!I could go on and on about the virtues of this book, and I can not recommend it highly enough! Buy this book, you will not regret it!

The story and action are really well done and the humor is just A+. There's a recurring joke about a dog that still cracks me up. We get a well done Lord of the Rings reference. And there's some really great, unexpected queer representation!
You can feel the love that was put into this book. I've enjoyed reading Chhibber's short stories, comics and children's books before, but I feel like she really gets to shine in the long-form, novel format. Looking forward to reading more in this series and just more in general from her!
Also, thanks to this book, I finally know how to spell "dilemma" :p
A Really Fun Spider-Man Adventure!

Preeti Chhibber has been a life-long fan of Spider-Man and getting to hear her voice for him is such fun! We get a perfectly balanced quippy, socially awkward, nervous around the girl he likes, trying to earn some cash to help out Aunt May, trying to be a hero and help out the neighborhood dude.Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2022
