Notes

95 p. "When Jayden's parents go off on their second honeymoon, he's forced to stay with his eccentric and prickly cactus-devotee relatives in Nullaloo. He can't wait for the three weeks to be over. But Jayden's boredom turns to distress when his aunt and uncle bring home an unusual cactus that instantly gives him the shivers. There's just something spooky about it - evil even. And when it starts shaking and increasing in size, he knows his instincts are right. Jayden soon discovers that its an extremely rare and dangerous cactus that houses a nest of tarantula eggs. The eggs usually stay dormant for years and will only hatch during periods of heavy rain. However, a good soaking from the tap at his Uncle's request unwittingly releases the spiders and Jayden soon finds himself in a situation straight out of a late night horror movie. Can Jayden face his fears and rescue them all?"--Provided by publisher. Ages 9+. Quick Read.
