Earlier today a rumor hit the net stating the Spider-Man: Homecoming Junior Novel states Zendaya is playing Michelle Toomes, meaning the daughter to Michael Keaton’s Vulture.
I just read the book and can 100% confirm the rumor is false–Michelle’s last name is not mentioned in the book at all, and it is not even remotely hinted that Zendaya is Vulture’s daughter.
What I can offer from the book is the following 25 Spider-Man: Homecoming spoilers/details.
The book is actually really good, and if the movie is anything like it, the film will be tons of fun. You can buy the book through Amazon and read it on Kindle for like 6 bucks.
Spider-Man: Homecoming spoilers (note: my comments in parentheses):
• Damage Control is the govt. agency in the book (seems to take the place of Agents Of SHIELD, IMO)

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release directed by Jon Watts starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
Synopsis:
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
