The Nest by Kenneth Oppel, Jon Klassen
4.0
Super chilling. It's a very good Coraline or Doll Bones readalike, where things are creepy and scary and children have to tackle them on their own, with very little explanation as to why things are the way they are. What's the deal with Mr. Nobody? How can the wasps be that powerful? There's no explanation for it, and amybe there doesn't need to be because that's not the point. The point is to tell a creepy story.
The main character's OCD, as well as his feelings about his baby brother's disabilities, was handled in a sensitive, but realistic way.
Age range is a little hard to pin down. Vocabulary wise, it's probably about a 4th or 5th grade level, but is it too scary for them and not scary enough for YA? Still, it's a good book to know about.
You'll never look at wasps the same way.
