Spider mansion

Chrissie and her parents are keeping the wolf from the door of their mortgaged cattle station by taking paying weekend guests. When the Todds arrive they seem like merely boring townies, but their presence soon takes on sinister overtones. Before long the Days find themselves virtual prisoners in their own home, with Chrissie alone fighting back. A novel for readers of 11 - 14 years, first published in hardcover in 1994.
