Read for my Novelogues YA scratch off poster. 

A really cute story that tackles the topics of loneliness, friendship, determination and loss. These topics can be heavy, especially for children, but E.B. White gives the feeling of hope throughout the story that makes all the struggles feel not too scary. This is also a great book for teaching young readers new words, and Charlotte is great at delivering comprehensible definitions. Overall, a great tale. I never read it as a child but I will definitely make sure my future children read it. 🕷🐷❤️
