If you’re a fan of John Green, Michael Grant, Stephen King or get your pincers stuck into this.
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.
Funny, intense, complex and brave, Grasshopper Jungle is a groundbreaking, genre-bending, coming-of-age stunner.
Look out for the highly anticipated sequel Exile from Eden.
About the Author
Andrew Smith has always wanted to be a writer. After graduating college, he wrote for newspapers and radio stations, but found it wasn’t the kind of writing he’d dreamed about doing. Born with an impulse to travel, Smith, the son of an immigrant, bounced around the world and from job to job, before settling down in Southern California. There, he got his first `real job’, as a teacher in an alternative educational program for at-risk teens, married, and moved to a rural mountain location.
Smith has now written several award-winning YA novels including Winger, Stick , and Grasshopper Jungle.
