The Nest by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
This book was kind of crazy! But I liked it!
There's this little boy, Steven, who has a little sister who talks to an imaginary friend on a toy telephone, a baby brother that has a serious congenital disorder and is near death, parents who use all of their energy to take care of the baby, a baby sitter who's studying biology, a magical wasp nests that has unusual wasps and Steven himself; serious OCD, anxiety and allergies to said wasps.
Steven is faced with a lot in this book! But ultimately, I think he has to decide if he wants to replace something that is broken with something that is perfect... his baby brother.
