Printz Honor Book nWinner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction n nRaunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling. --Rolling Stone n n Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious.

An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things. n n This is the truth. This is history. n It's the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it. n You know what I mean.n nFunny, 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.n
