A 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor Book Winner of the 2014 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Fiction "Raunchy, bizarre, smart and compelling." --Rolling Stone “Grasshopper Jungle is simultaneously creepy and hilarious. Reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s in “Slaughterhouse Five,” in the best sense.” --New York Times Book Review In the small town of Ealing, Iowa, Austin and his best friend, Robby, have accidentally unleashed an unstoppable army. An army of horny, hungry, six-foot-tall praying mantises that only want to do two things. This is the truth. This is history. It’s the end of the world. And nobody knows anything about it. You know what I mean. Funny, intense, complex, and brave, Grasshopper Jungle brilliantly weaves together everything from testicle-dissolving genetically modified corn to the struggles of recession-era, small-town America in this groundbreaking coming-of-age stunner.

“They have sent me here because of what happened on the pylon.” When Clodagh Brown writes these words at the age of nineteen, she believes that she is leaving behind the traumatic events of her youth. But Clodagh soon learns that you can never entirely escape your past. In the aftermath of the incident on the pylon--one of the great electrified structures that dot the English countryside like so many gargantuan grasshoppers--Clodagh goes off to university, moves into a basement flat arranged by her unsympathetic family, and finds freedom trekking across London's rooftops with a gang of neighborhood misfits. As she begins a thrilling relationship with a fellow climber, however, both Clodagh and the reader are haunted by the memory of the pylon and of the terrible thing that happened there--and by the eerie sense that another tragedy is just a footfall away.

Grasshopper is a candid story about the life of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club member, told in vivid detail. Grasshopper, A.K.A. Bruce Wayne Harrison, story begins in 1955 when he was a young boy learning about life on an Indiana farm.

As you walk in his shoes, you'll discover the patriotism that drove him to volunteer to fight for freedom in Vietnam and the memories that have plagued him ever since.

Feeling with wind in your face and salt in your nose, you will understand what drives a man to romance the road on two wheels. Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster as you discover the forces that transformed Bruce Wayne Harrison into Grasshopper. For the first time ever the details of Grasshoppers life are made public. Finally understand what happens when a man is transformed from an average American boy in Indiana, into an Outlaw Boss in Tampa, Florida. Understand how one man filled the void in his heart, that most of us don't understand. Know what it's like to ride with the Brothers of the Outlaw Motorcycle Club. Finally, feel what it's like to..."

"Now two archaeologists who have devoted more than two decades to investigations at Grasshopper reconstruct the life and times of this fourteenth-century Mogollon community. Written for general readers - and for the White Mountain Apache, on whose land Grasshopper Pueblo is located and who have participated in the excavations there - the book conveys the simple joys and typical problems of an ancient way of life as inferred from its material remains."--BOOK JACKET. "Grasshopper Pueblo not only thoroughly reconstructs this past life at a mountain village, it also offers readers an appreciation of life at the field school and an understanding of how excavations have proceeded there through the years."--BOOK JACKET.
