This book takes place when Miles is in high school, in a slightly different version of the universe than that shown in the movie, but if you liked it you'll probably love this. The characters are very loveable and the book is more than just a fun superhero story - more than the movie did, it dives in to how Miles' race influences his experience, both as Spiderman, and as a student.
