Spidernaut: Arabella, the Spider in Space - Hardcover

by Jodie Parachini (Author), Dragan Kordic (Illustrator)

Told in the first person as if written by Arabella herself, she describes how she was the first spider to spin a web in space in 1973, and even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. Reading Arabella's diary and the story, we learn how spiders spin webs and why this experiment, suggested by a high school student, was important.
