"A cool/passionate, gay/straight, male/female, absurd/real,
funny/moving, past/present, breezy/profound masterpiece of a book."
(Michael Grant, bestselling author of the GONE series). If you're a
fan of John Green, Michael Grant, Stephen King or Sally Green's
Half Bad, get your pincers stuck into this. In the small town of
Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend Robby have accidentally
unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry,
six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things.
This is the truth. This is history. It's the end of the world. And
nobody knows anything about it. Funny, intense, complex and brave,
Grasshopper Jungle is a groundbreaking, genre-bending,
coming-of-age stunner. Look out for Andrew's latest exciting novel
The Alex Crow. Praise for Grasshopper Jungle: "If you only read one
book this year about sexually confused teens battling 6 foot tall
head-chomping praying mantises in small town America, make it this
one." (Charlie Higson, author of the bestselling Young Bond
series). "I devoured @marburyjack's wonderful 'cool/passionate'
Grasshopper Jungle". (Sally Green, author of Half Bad).
"Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith. You must read immediately.
It's an absolute joy. Scary, funny, sexy. Trust me." (Jake Shears,
lead singer of The Scissor Sisters). "Not for the faint-hearted.
Mutant grasshoppers, rampant lust - a tale of teen self discovery
that grips like a mating mantis." (Metro). Andrew Smith has always
wanted to be a writer. After graduating college, he wrote for
newspapers and radio stations, but found it wasn't the kind of
writing he'd dreamed about doing. Born with an impulse to travel,
Smith, the son of an immigrant, bounced around the world and from
job to job, before settling down in Southern California. There, he
got his first 'real job', as a teacher in an alternative
educational program for at-risk teens, married, and moved to a
rural mountain location. Smith has now written several
award-winning YA novels including Winger, Stick, and Grasshopper
Jungle.
