Description: "The Old Slaymaker House: Neighbors whisper about it. Children dare each other to step foot in its overgrown yard. Exterminators refuse to visit and shudder at the thought of what multi-limbed monsters may burrow in its earth. For Slade Slaymaker and his brother, Sydney, it's the last remnant of their father, a dedicated entomologist devoured by the very creatures he dedicated his life to understanding. Slade, too young to remember his death, continues his legacy with his own love of all things insect. Sydney, old enough to remember the gruesome scene, despises all things insect and seeks to annihilate any bug he sees. When these two brothers' opposing obsessions clash, Slade finds hinsel shrunk to the size of his diminutive subjects and thrust into the middle of a brutal Bug War, an earth-shattering struggle that will decide the fate of his family and, perhaps, uncover the secrets behind his father's gruesome demise."--Provided by publisher.
