Review Reviewed by Brenda Casto for Readers' Favorite "Delores Fletcher, Cobweb Catcher" is a story filled with wonderful characters and a plot that takes place in an enchanted land that easily captured my imagination. The thing that really stood out for me though was the positive message of friendship. Kathryn Rose Jacoby does an amazing job of weaving a tale that will certainly appeal to teens and tweens. With a positive storyline that is easy to follow, "Delores Fletcher, Cobweb Catcher" is the perfect Halloween read, but honestly it is a story that I would enjoy any time of the year.Reviewed by Alice Berger for Bergers Book Reviews Dolores Fletcher, Cobweb Catcher is a cute fantasy of a young witch trying to find her own way in the world. She is an endearing girl that readers will cheer for...  overall, this is a nice story with a happy ending.Reviewed by Mother Daughter & Son Book Reviews: A fun, middle grade romp exploring the world of witches through the eyes of a sympathetic main character, Delores, when she embarks on her role as the town's Cobweb Catcher.  The book features a supporting cast of quirky characters; entertaining descriptions of the interactions among the witches, spiders, and ghosts in the story; and an overall message about the importance of ecological balance in nature. Tween girls in particular would love reading about the world Delores lives in. I would recommend this book to children aged 7 to 12. Product Description Giant spiders are nesting in people's homes and sixteen-year-old Delores Fletcher is now the town's official Cobweb Catcher - and alone. She's alienated any friends she might have had at flight school and now turns to the unlikely help of an outcast ghost and the spirit of her great-great-great-grandmother Mabel Verity Fletcher, the most notorious Cobweb Catcher in history. But, life for a Cobweb Catcher can be difficult and things aren't always what they seem. Magical powers alone are not enough, especially when Delores' success means unbalancing the ecology of her town.
