Printz Honor Bo okWinner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction"Raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling." --Rolling Stone“Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious.

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.You know what I mean.Funny, intense, complex, and brave, Grasshopper Jungle brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America in this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner.
