The Spindlers
Lauren Oliver
One day when Liza went to bed, Patrick was her chubby, stubby, candy-grubbing, and pancake-loving younger brother, who irritated and amused her both, and the next morning, when she woke up, he was not.
In fact, he was quite, quite different.
When Liza’s brother, Patrick, changes overnight, Liza knows exactly what has happened: the spindlers have gotten to him, and stolen his soul.
She knows, too, that she is the only one who can save him.
To rescue Patrick, Liza must go Below, armed with little more than her wits and a broom. There, she uncovers a vast world populated with talking rats, music-loving moles, greedy troglods, and overexcitable nids . . . as well as strange monsters and terrible dangers. But she will face her greatest challenge at the spindlers’ nests, where she encounters the evil Queen and must pass a series of deadly tests – or else her soul, too, will remain Below forever.

The a great book about friendship, family and finding your way home. It is a wonderful, fantastical book about a girl named Liza who has to rescue her brother's soul from the spindlers which are horrible, spider-like creatures who collect children's souls while they sleep. At some point in the year the spindlers hold a feast in which they eat all of the souls they have stolen. After a journey through Below collecting friends (and some enemies) along the way, finally, Liza has to face the Queen of the Spindlers in her lair. The Queen puts her through three difficult and challenging tasks that she has to complete. Or else The Feast will begin...
