Bug
Shawn Reilly
In her somewhat problematic, repetitive, lonely existence Bug has very little knowledge of her heritage…actually her memories in general are vague. Bug’s world seems to revolve around marking yet another day off her calendar and carrying on with her daily routine—the one true thing that she’s still in control of.
However, just when Bug begins to question the circumstances that surround each harvest night, she is confronted with a blast from the past. Her old nemesis, Tobias Keogh, the boy who outted her mom by calling her a witch in front of their fifth grade class, has returned home. His reappearance reveals two realities: one, that his memories don’t mesh with hers and two, that he knows far too much about her.
In the process of questioning things and trying to come to terms with Tobias’s homecoming, Bug’s eyes are opened not only to new possibilities but to a whole new world…one that she never even knew she was a part of.
