Sylvie, the spider, lives underneath a fire escape in the city. She is able to drop down and visit people that live in the building. She watches them every day. One day, however, she realizes that something isn't quite right with them. So by taking, a big risk, she steps out into the daylight and leads all of the people to the top of the building. This might just make things "just right" for the tenants of Sylvie's building.

Sylvie was a cute book overall, but the storyline was hard to follow. It left out too many details of what was going on. After reading it, you get an overall sense that it was a fun book, but the text wasn't very engaging.
