 In the Bayous of Louisiana there is a boy named Milo who is not a hero. This dystopian tale follows Milo as a race of alien bugs have attacked earth. Milo dreams of the destruction that the aliens can bring but hopes that his dreams will stay locked in his dream diary. He is just trying to survive his day-to-day life scavenging alien ships for usable technology when Milo stumbles upon a rogue girl in the woods and learns of magical creatures (The Nightsiders). These magical creatures are being hunted by the most ferocious of the alien invaders. Will he stand up and fight with his new friends to protect earth and humankind?  (Vermont DCF Book Award 2017)
