A 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor BookWinner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction 'Raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling. ' --Rolling Stone Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious. Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut s in Slaughterhouse Five, in the best sense. --New York Times Book Review 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.
