Spider's state–of–the–art computer is the creation of her new step–father, who's gone with Spider's mother on a honeymoon. Now Spider has free reign, so she logs on to the Internet and invents a whole new online personality. But she's soon in over her head, and it takes computer whiz Jerry and his uncle to make her see that she needs real friends.

Reviews
"This fast-paced fiction about the ambivalent nature of cyberspace is slick and sure. Its snappy dialogue, ultra–contemporary feel, and shivery electronic adventure have certain appeal. Young readers will be completely caught up in Spider's Web. Highly recommended."
