Reviews
Hutchinson's excellent novel of ideas invites readers to wonder about their place in a world that often seems uncaring and meaningless. The novel is never didactic; on the contrary, it is unfailingly dramatic and crackling with characters who become real upon the page. Will Henry press the button? We all await his decision., This title will appeal [...] to everyone who believes human beings' insignificance in the broader scale of the universe is reason enough to cherish all of our fellow ants., Hutchinson has crafted an unflinching portrait of the pain and confusion of young love and loss, thoughtfully exploring topics like dementia, abuse, sexuality, and suicide as they entwine with the messy work of growing up., A 2016 Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year A 2017 ALA Top Ten Rainbow List Title "A beautiful, masterfully told story by someone who is at the top of his craft." - Lambda Literary "Unfailingly dramatic and crackling with characters who become real upon the page." - Booklist , starred review "Bitterly funny, with a ray of hope amid bleakness." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Hints of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five... Highly recommended." - School Library Journal , starred review "Hutchinson has crafted an unflinching portrait of the pain and confusion of young love and loss." - Publishers Weekly , starred review "Wonderfully written... bracingly smart and unusual." - Shelf Awareness , starred review, [Henry's] journey is subtle and hard-won, with meditations on the past, the present, and the future that are equal parts sarcastic and profound. Bitterly funny, with a ray of hope amid bleakness., We Are the Ants is a very complex story about serious subjects. The voices of each character are strong and unique, [and] their language and actions match the situations in which they find themselves., Effectively combines the best of elements of Nick Burd's The Vast Fields of Ordinary (Dial, 2009) with hints of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five . Highly recommended., Shaun David Hutchinson's bracingly smart and unusual YA novel blends existential despair with exploding planets., [Henry's]journey is subtle and hard-won, with meditations on the past, the present, andthe future that are equal parts sarcastic and profound. Bitterly funny, with aray of hope amid bleakness., Hutchinson's excellent novel of ideas invitesreaders to wonder about their place in a world that often seems uncaring andmeaningless. The novel is never didactic; on the contrary, it is unfailinglydramatic and crackling with characters who become real upon the page. WillHenry press the button? We all await his decision., [ We Are the Ants ] is a book about more than love and loss; it's about struggling to find motivation and not taking the people in your life for granted. A beautiful, masterfully told story by someone who is at the top of his craft.

Synopsis
A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) From the "author to watch" ( Kirkus Reviews ) of The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley comes a brand-new novel about a teenage boy who must decide whether or not the world is worth saving. Henry Denton has spent years being periodically abducted by aliens. Then the aliens give him an ultimatum: The world will end in 144 days, and all Henry has to do to stop it is push a big red button. Only he isn't sure he wants to. After all, life hasn't been great for Henry. His mom is a struggling waitress held together by a thin layer of cigarette smoke. His brother is a jobless dropout who just knocked someone up. His grandmother is slowly losing herself to Alzheimer's. And Henry is still dealing with the grief of his boyfriend's suicide last year. Wiping the slate clean sounds like a pretty good choice to him. But Henry is a scientist first, and facing the question thoroughly and logically, he begins to look for pros and cons: in the bully who is his perpetual one-night stand, in the best friend who betrayed him, in the brilliant and mysterious boy who walked into the wrong class. Weighing the pain and the joy that surrounds him, Henry is left with the ultimate choice: push the button and save the planet and everyone on it...or let the world--and his pain--be destroyed forever., From the "author to watch" ( Kirkus Reviews ) of The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley comes a brand-new novel about a teenage boy who must decide whether or not the world is worth saving.
