Hana Hsu and the Ghost Crab Nation

Hana hopes to enroll at Start-Up, a technology school for talented twelve-year-olds. If she outperforms half of her classmates, she can join the multiweb through a neural implant, as her mother and sister have. Once at Start-Up, Hana eagerly anticipates being meshed to the network. She gradually notices that her friends are becoming ill and begins to recognize troubling problems with the technology.
