Teddy King excels at many things. Playing hockey. Check. Scoring on and off the ice. Check. Being stupidly attractive ... Double check. Despite his demanding schedule, he still finds time to annoy me. I knew him way back when.

Behind each door lives a possible spy or Nazi sympathizer, the family of a foreign diplomat, or someone who escaped the conflagration in Europe just in time. But it is also the summer of an inexplicable spider infestation—surely evidence of "insect warfare" by the Russians, thinks our young narrator John, and his best friends, Ivan and Max.
