Zahra's Great Debate

2008

Zahra and her friends are back! "Grimacing, Zahra removed the glass plate which was covering Saira's dish and used a fork to scrape the mash potato aside. The topping looked like a creamy mountain with lumps in it. The plan was to submerge the spiders into the mincemeat. Biting her lip, Zahra reached into her pocket for the jar of four spiders, unscrewed the lid and pulled the smallest out by its skinny leg. This was so gross!" Join Zahra and the gang for another thrill-packed term with even more fun and frolics (and a heavenly slice of spider pie!).
