But then Mr Crepsley will know that Darren stole from him and will he give him the antidote and if he does what will he want from Darren in return? His friend ends up being bitten by the spider and the only person who has the antidote is the Vampire Mr Crepsley.ĭarren badly wants to save his friend, and he has to find the Vampire. Darren is so impressed with Madame Octa that he steals her. Any sudden movements and she would kill you, her owner said. Poisonous with razor sharp fangs and she was smart. The most spectacular thing for Darren though was the Spider known as Madam Octa. It had: A Bearded Lady, and a guy playing music on his ribs for example. The Cirque du Freak was what it was called and it was really cool. Darren ended up sneaking out to see it, but not sure what to expect. There were men and women with unusual and sometimes gross talents. His friend in school showed him a flyer of a Circus that was coming to town in the next few days.
He now had no pet and his parents had said that he was never getting a pet ever again. Except that the TV spider came out alive. He saw this on TV and it looked hilarious.
After getting a present of a spider from his parents, he accidently kills it when it ends up being sucked up the vacuum cleaner. It has Blood, Guts, Vampires, Killer Spiders, Poison and characters with oomph. It for boys and girls who love being terrified out of their wits. Personally I would love to give this book a 22 out of 10 mark.
