Do you remember stories your elementary teachers read you about magical spiders, big monsters, and fairies? There are grown up versions of these stories. For example, Neil Gaiman's new book is called "Anansi Boys." It tells the story of Fat Charlie Nancy who jets off to Florida for the funeral of his estranged father, only to discover that his deceased father was the West African trickster god, Anansi and that Charlie has a "prankster" half brother he has never met. Check out the rest of the mini-list:
