Charles Webb byl autorem několika románů, které se soustředily na téma dospívání a hledání identity v moderním světě. Jeho dílo se vyznačovalo pronikavým pohledem na mezilidské vztahy a společenské tlaky, často s nádechem cynismu i empatie.
In the fast-paced, sexy, and very scary literary thriller Ursula Lake, a husband and wife trying to save their marriage and a rock musician trying to get his career back on track find big trouble, natural and possibly supernatural, in the spellbinding wilds of British Columbia.
At the end of Charles Webb's first novel, The Graduate, Benjamin Braddock rescues his beloved Elaine from a marriage made not in heaven but in California. As the story opens, the Braddock household is in turmoil as the Westchester School Board attempts to quash the unconventional educational methods the family is practising.
