Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King

5.0

This book was awesome! The issue of bullying is so important, and it was described beautifully....exactly how I remember it. Unfortunately, most of us have had to deal with this issue up close at some point in our lives, and A.S. King handles it without being preachy. The book also deals with trauma in general; every family has issues and every family has trauma. Lucky, the main character, has some insightful encounters (while dreaming) with his granddad who never came home from Vietnam. And one can't forget the ants....I LOVED the ants. I wasn't always sure if Lucky was completely sane or not, but the characters were intriguing and the dialogue was hilarious! This book is brilliant!
