Overview

For some kids, summer is but a sunny time filled with fun. For Steve, it is a season full of worry. So when a mysterious wasp queen invades his dreams, offering to “fix” his baby brother, Steve thinks his prayers have been answered. All he has to do is say yes. But “yes” is a powerful word. It is also a dangerous one.
