Summary

The story of Spider Wars pays homage to the classical musical West Side Story and the age-old conundrum of “ the grass is always greener… .” . A point of difference for today’ s market, however, is that the main characters are… you guessed it— spiders! Australia’ s tiny dancing and brightly colored Peacock Spiders make up one gang, with the hairy common garden Wolf spiders making up the other gang. The Peacock and Wolf spiders live on different sides of the Paddock and they’ re forever fighting over Middle Ground Hill to get to the other side. But that all changes when a dazzling little Peacock Spider falls for an oh-so-pretty Wolf Spider. Banned from seeing each other, brave Sparklemuffin risks everything to rescue Wolf Mother. In the process, the sweethearts discover that life on the other side of the Paddock might not be so good after all.

Author Biography

Gina Newton is a multi-award-winning children’s book author and passionate about the conservation of Australia’s wildlife. She trained as a marine biologist, zoologist, and science communicator. Her first picture book (fiction) has sold over 150,000 copies and her first information book for children won the CBCA Eve Pownall award, with her second short-listed. A graduate of Master Classes with renowned authors Fiona McIntosh and the late, great Bryce Courtney, Gina lives in Canberra with her two young adult children and many pets.

A keen reader from an early age, Nandina Vines, wrote, illustrated and constructed her first picture book at the age of 8 years old. Her creative flare led her to work as a colorist with the Hannah Barbera Production Company and later, a career in graphic design. In recent years, Nandina changed her career direction to follow her lifelong dream of becoming an illustrator of children’s picture books and has illustrated over ten different picture books for self-published authors. Nandina is not afraid of spiders and uses the catch-and-release method if a spider happens to stray indoors!
