The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver

This is an adventurous story about a girl named Liza.  A couple years ago her babysitter told her a story about spider looking, soul eating spindlers.  Liza knows that her brother Patrick's soul has been taken by the spindlers.  Once dark, she goes underground to rescue her brother's soul where she meets a talking rat named Mirabella.  Togther they search the underworld for Liza's brother.

It has a lot of adventure when Liza and Mirabella flight the Sivens, who want to eat them.  I liked the imaginary world Lauren pu into the book.
