In the heart of the American southwestern desert, there's trouble for Lawrence Bell, a young boy who's bullied by other boys at school. Feaful of what they will do to him, he runs away into the desert, a forbidden place filled with tarantulas, rattlesnakes, and wandering coyotes. In the face of almost unbelievable events, he finds protection in an ant colony and becomes a member of their army. Lawrence's adventures and trials boil down to a struggle between good and evil as he encounters floods, battles with the red ants, narrow escapes from spiders, imprisonment in the dreaded fungus pit, and a flight off the notorious Rockface Cliff.
THOMAS CARROLL lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with his wife and three children. He has worked as a political consultant, speechwriter, and newspaper reporter. This is his first novel.
The BEVERLY HILLS COURIER says: "Let the imagination begin! Put away the comic books and the computer games." And LIBRARY JOURNAL said: "the writing is clear and confident, and there is plenty of action. An interesting first novel."
