The Nest by Paul Jennings (author)

Robin’s life is spiralling out of control. His father’s a tyrant, his mother has disappeared, and a dangerous girl is luring him into her web. Terrible images keep flashing through his head. What does Robin really know about his own past? Are there clues in his own writing? And what secrets lie within the frozen forest? A dark, tense and ultimately uplifting story of a boy who dares to stare into the forbidden spider-holes of his own mind.
