(3) K-3 A fly's life is "changed with the switch of a button" when it gets vacuumed up. Stuck inside the dust bag, it experiences all five stages of grief before being set free. Dense with visual gags and callbacks, the book's accessible conceptual underpinnings and cartoonishly expressive protagonist make it both funny and suspenseful. Rich in clever detail, this will reward multiple reads.
