Everybody Sees the Ants

Lucky Linderman didnt ask for his life. He didnt ask his grandfather not to come home from the Vietnam War. He didnt ask for a father who never got over it. He didnt ask for a mother who keeps pretending their family is fine. And he certainly didnt ask to be the recipient of Nadar McMillans relentless bullying, which has finally gone too far.<br /> <br /> Lucky has a secret--one that helps him wade through the daily dysfunction of his life. Grandad Harry, trapped in the jungles of Laos, has been visiting Lucky in his dreams--and the dreams just might be<i>real</i>:an alternate reality where he can be whoever he wants to be and his life might still be worth living. But how long can Lucky remain in hiding there before reality forces its way inside?<br /> <br /> Printz Honor recipient A. S. Kings distinctive, smart, and accessible writing shines in this powerful novel about learning to cope with the shrapnel life throws at you, and then taking a stand against it.
