The Nest Award-winning illustrator by Kenneth Oppel (author) and Jon Klassen (illustrator)

‘The first time I saw them, I thought they were angels.’

The baby is sick. Mom and Dad are sad. And all Steve has to do is say, ‘Yes’ to fix everything. But ‘yes’ is a powerful word. It is also a dangerous one. And once it is uttered, can it be taken back?

Treading the thin line between dreams and reality, Steve is stuck in a nightmare he can’t wake up from and that nobody else understands. And all the while, the wasps’ nest is growing, and the ‘angel’ keeps visiting Steve in the night.

A haunting coming of age story that will hold you captive, The Nest is lyrical, surreal and one of the most moving stories you’ll read this year.
