The second book introduces Gwen Stacy, an "[[HollywoodHomely ugly duckling]]" who MJ gives a makeover to, [[CreateYourOwnVillain accidentally creating a rival for Peter's affections]]. At the same time, Harry Osborn returns to school, now broke due to his father being thrown in jail.

The novels were a hit with girls who weren't familiar with comics, but was criticized by fans of the comics for its characterization of some characters (particularly Harry) and the changes it made to continuity.
