Ooo what a twisty, surreal kind of horror book. You probably won't look at bees the same way after reading this one. This book takes so many twists and turns that it's impossibly hard to put down. I almost read it entirely in one sitting yesterday! I can see a lot of teens picking this up and really enjoying it.

In addition to the horror vibes, there are also a lot of explorations of gender and privilege, especiallly in a summer camp setting like this. There are a lot of different angles to look at this one from, and there is a bright future for Ryan La Sala!
