Spyderglass

¿¿¿¿¿¿¿It should have been stamped with a warning. Something like: Caution. Contains Armageddon.



Because how else is thirteen-year-old serial truant, Jonah Hartz, supposed to know he's put an apocalypse in his pocket? He just thinks it's a tiny, glowing ball that can spin a web of moving pictures and could be bigger than YouTube.



He's right. It is bigger. So much bigger.



When Spyderglass launches its powerful web, Jonah is hurled three hundred years back in time. On board the notorious Sea Raven, Jonah meets the ship's wily powder monkey, Opus. Trapped in a world from where there is no return and facing certain death if discovered by the villainous crew, it just doesn't get any worse- Until Jonah's nemesis, Chunky Willis, drops through the hatch.



Meanwhile, back home, strange characters are gathering and for all their wisdom, magic and skill, they are discovering they cannot change the will of Spyderglass or the fate it's weaving for the three boys who hold it.
