The Nest

The Nest by Kenneth Oppel, 244 pages

Creepy, odd and wonderful book!  Steve has a new baby brother who is ill but no one seems to know exactly what’s wrong.  He needs surgery, but he likely will need a lot more than that and he may never be completely normal.  Steve has started having dreams in which he has been talking to some kind of being, but he’s not sure what it is.  She keeps telling him that she is going to fix the baby.  Steve is sure that it’s just a dream but it feels very real too.  At first, the dreams make him feel better but as more time passes, he becomes less sure about what she means about fixing the baby.  I would highly recommend this to upper grade school kids who like scary stories.
