More often than you'd imagine a child will come into the library. Allergic to sweetness and pink covers, dreadful of yet another animal story, sort of into survival tales and they will ask me, “Don't you have anything scary?” Really what they mean is dark. I hand them Coraline,etc. Now I have one more title to hand them. The Nest is very, very dark. So dark it disturbed the hell out of me- a grown up. As a parent, I think it ripped my fears wide open, but there is much lurking in the dark in this one and it is a big idea, a SCARY big idea. What if we could be replaced by a perfect version of ourselves? What if the price was way too high to pay? I don't think I'll look at toy phones the same way again.
