“You have worked as a team to encourage and assist one of your own. True teamwork.”

First, I cannot rave enough about this book! Love the topic and I adore how this story is presented.
Spider Web Scramble is a seamless story about a group of friends, who happen to be fairies working together to help each succeed at the tasks at hand. Those tasks are spider web scrambling and then flying off to play with their stars.
From fairies to enchanted forests to talking spiders to magic with the most important aspect of teamwork. This little book covers it all. The core of this book is all centered on the disability of one of the team members.
Spider Web Scramble is the perfect mix of all six of these elements by author Amanda M. Thrasher. This is book three of the series of Mischief Books.
Giving multiple high fives and praise accolades to Thrasher. This story is woven around the disability of one of the fairies, Pearle. Disabilities are hard to write about it. The older public often has a hard time knowing how to act or deal with individuals with disabilities. Children are often more accepting of others’ disabilities and go the extra mile to help when they can. I recently witnessed this during a STARR Bootcamp here in Texas where a disabled student needed help navigating areas without ramps. The fellow students assisted with understanding and compassion and then they were all off and running like the student had no walker. This is the brilliance of Spider Web Scramble – that accepting and not treating someone differently because of their disability is what we all should do. This book is perfect for delivering this message.
All of us deserve a chance and opportunity to reach for the stars. The story that Thrasher weaves around Pearle and her Chariot is deeply heartwarming. The story of these fairies working together for them all to achieve the end goal of reaching for your own star is fantabulous!
Kids love nature. They need to be able to explore as much as they can even if they are in a wheelchair/chariot. As for the stars – we all need to reach for the stars no matter if we are bound to a wheelchair or capable of walking. Spider Web Scramble is the ideal book to help kids and preteens reach for their own stars and understand the concept of teamwork.
Note: Maybe all wheelchairs should be changed to chariots!
