The Nest, written by Kenneth Oppel, was such a wonderful read, but the entire book was below my expectations of what it should have been. Kenneth Oppel has written many other fantastic books but The Nest did not reach that level. It was quite disappointing.
The story’s main plot was about a kid trying to save his little brother, who is ill, with the help of a white wasp. Imagine, you have no other option to help save your brother or sister and you start having dreams of strange creatures talking to you for help. Isn’t that creepy enough?
The point about this book that kept me going was the fantastic illustrations. What I personally couldn’t have imagined was put on paper, which was very new and thrilling.
