Spider's state-of-the-art computer allows her to adopt a new personality online, but causes problems in her relationships at home. It takes computer whiz Jerry and his uncle to make Spider see that she needs real friends -- but even they may be too late.
I grew up and was educated in Vancouver, British Columbia. I am a writer and editor, and spent most of my career in educational publishing. I have lived in Spain and also in China, where I taught English as a second language, and have published articles about my experiences in China in newspapers across Canada. I am the author of nine novels, several of them historical fiction. I have also published a book of short stories and biographies of Louis Riel and Norman Bethune. I currently live in Toronto, Canada.
This is one of those books I read when I was a teenager that really stuck with me, I often find myself thinking about it and wishing I could read it again. I particularly remember loving the descriptions of the house that they moved to after her mother remarried, which I read that the author based on that famous house called "Fallingwater" that was built over a waterfall.
