The Nest by Kenneth Oppel

Oppel, Kenneth, (2015). The nest. New York: Simon & Schuster

Steve has always been a worrier, but since his brother was born he's become even more anxious. His brother was born with a lot of problems with his eyes, his heart,  congenital things, not sure doctors could fix. When Steve starts having dreams about otherworldly wasps, he takes comfort in their message that everything will be okay. But the more he learns about their plan to "fix" the baby's congenital condition, the more he's conflicted. The tension and unease grow as Steve begins to wonder if the wasps are real or imagined.  All Steve must do is say yes to the offer, and his dream confidante will turn her promise of a healthy baby into reality. What would you do in this situation? This book was strange, creepy and odd. I did not like it.
