The first in a three-book middle grade novel series by Spider-Man's number one fan and hilarious fiction writer, Preeti Chhibber!

Peter Parker has been swinging and thwipping his way through New York City as Spider-Man for just a few months, and balancing his double life is complicated. He goes to school and tries not to embarrass himself in front of his crush, MJ; he takes photos for the Daily Bugle and tries not to embarrass himself in front of his boss, J. Jonah Jameson; and he fights crime in the evenings and . . . well, he’s kind of always trying to not embarrass himself. Easier said than done when you’re a teen with spider powers you’re still getting used to.

On top of all that, the notorious villain the Sandman is acting more strangely than ever, social media seems to be taking a toll on MJ, and someone keeps trying to steal an artifact that’s supposedly powered by alien matter . . . which can’t be good. Something eerie is going on, and Peter is determined to figure out what it is before things go from weird to dangerous.

Preeti Chhibber is an author, speaker, and freelancer. She's written for SYFY, Polygon, and Elle, among others. In 2022, she made her Marvel comics debut in WOMEN OF MARVEL #1 with a brand-new Black Cat story. This year will also see the release of Spider-Man’s Social Dilemma, the first in an original upper-middle grade Peter Parker trilogy from Marvel Press. Find her co-hosting the podcasts Desi Geek Girls and Tar Valon or Bust. She’s appeared on panels at NYCC, SDCC, and on screen on SYFY.

Nicoletta Baldari is a cartoonist and character designer who works with Disney, DC Comics, Hasbro, Konami, Dark Horse, IDW, and Lucasfilm drawing cool princesses, Jedis, and everything you can imagine. But if eating french fries was a job, she'd apply for that instead. Her home is the west wing of Wayne Manor (which everybody knows is on the south side of Rome) with her husband and two sweet kittens that are always playing with her hair.
