Ilustration Toward Books Everybody Sees the Ants
Lucky Linderman didn't ask for his life. He didn't ask his grandfather not to come home from the Vietnam War. He didn't ask for a father who never got over it. He didn't ask for a mother who keeps pretending their dysfunctional family is fine. And he didn't ask to be the target of Nader McMillan's relentless bullying, which has finally gone too far.But Lucky has a secret--one that helps him wade through the daily mundane torture of his life. In his dreams, Lucky escapes to the war-ridden jungles of Laos--the prison his grandfather couldn't escape--where Lucky can be a real man, an adventurer, and a hero. It's dangerous and wild, and it's a place where his life just might be worth living. But how long can Lucky keep hiding in his dreams before reality forces its way inside?

I am not exaggerating or being dramatic when I say that this is now one of my favourite books.It was so unbelievably poignant, and I have not loved the main character so much in a really long time.I want everyone to read this book.I'm so, so glad I decided to give King another try despite my mixed feelings over her Printz Honor, Please Ignore Vera Dietz. Everybody Sees the Ants is an astonishingly wonderful gift to young-adult literature, one that I feel extremely fortunate to have read. Since the age of seven, Lucky Linderman has been having dreams in which he visits his grandfather in the prison camp where he's resided since being listed as MIA in the Vietnam War back in 1972. When his grandmother died, she asked

"ehhhh...I would read that IF you made me a paper craft of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic character, Rainbow Dash." Oh, did he think that was clever. I spent two hours cutting tiny rainbow pony legs out and trying to convince a glue stick that it should do my bidding. But I made the damn horse and he is reading the damn book.

When I was challenged to finish a YA novel in basically 24 hours, I selected A.S. King's Everybody Sees The Ants. Seeing its page count at 280 pages, I thought it will be quick and easy but because the universe loves to kick you in the nuts with irony, it turned out to be the opposite. It's a very difficult book to read and even harder to write a review about. It hit a little too close to home.Everybody Sees The Ants is about a boy named Lucky who is dealing with some not particularly fortunate
5 SURPRISING STARS This book started as a casual read for humor and it suddenly changed into a completely different experience.It was there on my to-read shelf for so long and I regret that I delayed reading it and you guys should not delay.A quote from the book on how we can tackle our problems: The simplest answer is to act. This book deals with topics like:- Bullying- Abuse- Impact on the family of dead soldiers after warThe topics of this book are difficult to discuss for any author but
Everybody sees the ants?"He looks at me and says, "Well, how many people do you think live perfect lives, son? Aren't we all victims of something at some time or another?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This is my first novel I've read by A.S. King, and I can say with full confidence that this won't be my last. Everybody Sees the Ants is a coming of age-novel that is insanely cool, insanely funny, sad at times, and insane in all the best ways. 1) The Plot Lucky, our main character, lives in
