Read by Gibson Frazier.
For some kids, summer is a sun-soaked season of fun. But for Steve, it's just another season of worries. Worries about his sick newborn baby brother who is fighting to survive, worries about his parents who are struggling to cope, even worries about the wasps' nest looming ominously from the eaves. So, when a mysterious wasp queen invades his dreams, offering to 'fix' the baby, 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. And once it is uttered, can it be taken back?

By mistake submitted by Judeyblu on August 23, 2016, 9:14pm Yes, I thought this was the adult fiction book of the same title.
But this short (3 CD) book packs a whallop.
Steve's baby brother is very ill, and a prime candidate for the wasps to exchange him for a changeling.
Or, is it all in Steve's mind?
Are his pleasant quirks an indicator of a more sever reality?
Appropriate for early teens and up.
