"The Nest leaves a lasting mark on the memory." --The New York
Times Book Review Steve just wants to save his baby brother--but
what will he lose in the bargain? Kenneth Oppel's (Silverwing, The
Boundless) haunting gothic tale for fans of Coraline, is one of the
most acclaimed books of the year, receiving six starred reviews.
Illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen. For some kids
summer is a sun-soaked season of fun. But for Steve, it's just
another season of worries. Worries about his sick newborn baby
brother who is fighting to survive, worries about his parents who
are struggling to cope, even worries about the wasp's nest looming
ominously from the eaves. So when a mysterious wasp queen invades
his dreams, offering to "fix" the baby, Steve thinks his prayers
have been answered. All he has to do is say "Yes." But "yes" is a
powerful word. It is also a dangerous one. And once it is uttered,
can it be taken back? Celebrated author Kenneth Oppel creates an
eerie masterpiece in this compelling story that explores disability
and diversity, fears and dreams, and what ultimately makes a
family. Includes illustrations from celebrated artist Jon Klassen.
