We Are the Ants follows Henry Denton in the worst year of his life. But we inevitably die with all our beliefs broken.” “As human beings, we’re born believing that we are the apex of creation, that we are invincible, that no problem exists that we cannot solve. So you could say that all of these elements constituted together would form the perfect book for me and you would be right. My love for space is only eclipsed by my obsession with aliens (seriously, if aliens were to invade Earth tomorrow, I would be that girl holding a sign that says, “Take me, alien overlords!” – I’m not kidding). How much do I love space, you ask? Well, for my 21 st birthday, my sister gave a speech that compared me to the Milky Way, I have a star named after me, and I have a tattoo of a crescent moon at the back of my neck. Like many people, I love space and am constantly on the lookout for well-written YA sci-fis. What first drew me to We Are the Ants was the sci-fi element. The first novel of his that I read was The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley ( my review) and if you enjoy tears with your reading, be sure to check out the book. This is my second Shaun David Hutchinson book and he is fast becoming a favourite author of mine. “I saw the world from the stars’ point of view, and it looked unbearably lonely.”
