Inhaltsangabe

Is a person still isolated if their friends are make-believe? Fred is a 16-year-old living on a farm without stock or crops in an Australian country town. When Travis, the charismatic head boy at their school, begins to take an interest in him, Fred gets lured into the intricate world of the web, where nothing, and nobody, is what they seem. A whodunit for the modern age, The Web is a fascinating exploration of isolation, friendship, and what happens when social experiments go frighteningly wrong.
