"Austin Szerba narrates the end of humanity as he and his best friend Robby accidentally unleash an army of giant, unstoppable bugs and uncover the secrets of a decades-old experiment gone terribly wrong"--
Grasshopper Jungle is a brutally honest work. Smith is an amazing writer. He has expertly tapped into the adolescent male mind. A word of warning: This book is awesome, and it also contains profanity, sexual situations and people being eaten by giant bugs. I recommend it to readers looking for a highly original YA book. -Brian

Emily Carroll was the perfect artist for this chilling adaptation. Just as relevant as the original. -Casey
