The Nest by Kenneth Oppel, Jon Klassen

3.0

This book is terrifyingly creepy. I'll never look at wasps the same again! At first, I thought the book started out pretty slow and depressing, but about 1/3 of my way through, I couldn't put it down. I loved the unreliable narrator and how it's hard to tell nightmares from reality. This is solidly a middle grade read for me. It is psychologically intense both in a gothic horror kind of way and also in how the narrator graphically describes his experiences with anxiety and OCD.
