Eerie hallways. Hallucinations. Legendary hangings and haunted lockers. No one knows what's going on at Rogers High School. The clues are dim and disconnected: strange curses, hangman insignias and rare pheromones are all found along a trail of vicious teen bullying-- jocks vs. nerds vs. witches. What's to blame? A sinister power? An illicit drug? A wounding of some kind? Only the Veritas Project is undercover and on top of it. Dead-set on a mission to expose truth and save lives, their team takes on mysterious forces as they try to pull together the lives being torn apart by hatred and fear.
Straws filled with sugar are found in the property of the stricken students, and their dog (Max) travelling with Veritas Project recognises a strange scent all over the school. Slow chanting of students' names is recorded during an underground séance of outcasts. In the end, it was spiders (the cross-breeding of the female African Spotted Wolf spider and the male brown recluse). They were trapped in the straws, and pheromone was spread on dollar bills, which were used to get the spider to the target. The bitten student began hallucinating Abel Frye, and fell into coma-like stages at the hospital later. Then, due to unbelievably fast reproduction, the school is overrun by the deadly spiders, and Elisha is left among them underground by the student who masterminded the whole thing. A spider expert shows up, with an antidote, saving Elisha from multiple bites after she is rescued. Abel Frye turns out to be the name of a ship that lost its entire crew when it was overrun by the same spiders.
The book explores the emotions of highschool students who all want to fit in. The jocks find exceptance among their peers by picking on and beating up the outcasts. The outcasts retaliate by "setting Able Frye" on their tormenters and thus gain a fear and respect from the other students.
oh yeah Ian Snyder is the one who supposedly controls the ghost and hallucinations of Abel Frye.
