About this listen
Robin's life is a mess. His father's a tyrant, his mother's disappeared and he's just been tempted by the wrong girl...
He can't stop the images flashing across his mind. What does Robin really know about his past? Are there clues in his own writing? And what secrets lie beneath the frozen forest? Love and loss. Mystery and madness.
Paul Jennings' first book for older listeners is a stunning and original series of interwoven tales combining to tell the dark and ultimately uplifting story of a boy who dares to stare into the spider holes of his own mind.

Australian actor and writer Stigg Wemyss has an almost childlike voice that is expressive, dramatic, and brisk...just like this thriller for teenaged listeners. Performed by Wemyss, The Nest was written by fellow Aussie Paul Jennings and features a young man on the run.
Since his mother fled the family when Robin was very young, poor 16-year-old Robin runs from everything: his father, his girlfriend, even - at times - his own sanity. Young listeners should respond with great interest to this damaged child’s mind, and they will certainly be drawn into a plot that features Jennings’s trademark twists.
