Bug Juice Summer, original idea by Tom Lavery, created and illustrated by Alice Bunny Dreadfullz. When a government pesticide arrives in a quiet farming community, nobody expects much beyond fewer bugs. Instead, the summer grows stranger by the day. The insects vanish. Wild roses bloom where they shouldn't. Neighbors trade impossible stories over coffee and pie. Government agents keep returning with more questions than answers. Told through the voices of ordinary folks who simply keep living their lives, Bug Juice Summer is a gentle rural mystery with dry humor, quiet wonder, and a touch of impossible Americana. Featuring sepia-toned Victorian-inspired field-note illustrations throughout, this book is more about curious mysteries along with the remarkable calm of people who greet the unbelievable with a shrug and, sometimes, another slice of pie.
