The Nest by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

What a trippy book! But it was soooooo good. The main character is a boy who suffers from anxiety, as well as an allergy to wasp stings. His parents have just had a baby boy, Theo, who has a congenital disorder. The family is super worried about the baby's well-being and future health problems. The main character begins having dreams where a Queen wasp is telling him that she and her fellow wasps will "fix" the baby. However, he soon discovers the dreams are real, he and the baby are in grave danger, and the wasps might not be as benevolent as they make themselves out to be. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an appetite for the strange and unpredictable.
