MICHAEL L. PRINTZ HONOR BOOK • Intense, complex, and brave, this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America.
“This raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling sci-fi novel defies description—it’s best to go into it with an open mind and allow yourself to be first drawn in, then blown away.”—Rolling Stone
“Nuanced, gross, funny, and poignant, it’s wildly original.”—The San Francisco Chronicle

In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend, Robby, have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things.
This is the truth. This is history.
It’s the end of the world.
And nobody knows anything about it.
