Summary

Thirteen-year-old Web Clements emerges from a swamp in ruralNew Hampshire, caked in mud and stripped of his memory. He sets out on a journey to discover his own history, a journey through a slightly skewed America where image has replace substance and reality seems an imitation of itself. From the apparently placid suburgbs of Conenctivut to the violetn streets ofthe Bronx, from the decay of America's rust belt to the sunny optimism of the wide-open West, Web encounters other "mad boys" like himself - deranged by the widespread collapes of moral values and angry at an older greneration whose insatiable desire for instant gratification has left these children to fend for themselves
