About the book:
Jared just wants to be a normal kid; play in the woods, climb trees, build forts...But there are the awful unbidden seizures that rack his body, the strangers who meet in secret with his father, the cache of firearms that fill the basement…
…and the bees.
When his house is surrounded by ATF agents, Jared’s world is turned upside down, and he doesn’t know whom to trust; his father, the ATF, or the undulating swarms that only he can see.
Quotes:
Excerpt:
There was the sound of glass breaking, the sound of small explosions, of pings and zips. The kitchen window shattered. A refrigerator magnet evaporated with a pop. The air came alive over Jared’s head as he raced for the basement door. He ran down the steps, no longer caring about the loud hollow thock of his footsteps. Water swished from the lip of the glass and spilled over his fingers. He ran to the small alcove where Twilly rested her head in Elspeth’s lap. Walt sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes wide and searching.
