(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Jon Klassen. Steve's baby brother is sick, so his parents don't pay attention when Steve becomes afraid of the wasps in the backyard. In a recurring dream, a voice offers to make everything better, but the easy fix starts to look like too sinister a bargain. Oppel's language is straightforward, but the emotional resonance deep. Klassen's black-and-white drawings astutely capture the magnitude of a child's imagination.
