Bug Wars. Book One, Lost in the YardBug Wars. Book One, Lost in the Yard

When teenage Salde Slaymaker discovers a mysterious amulet that shrinks him to the size of a bug, he finds himself lost in a secret kingdom of tiny, sword-wielding warriors called Mytes lying hidden in the grass and brush piles of his own backyard. A world of marauding ant armies, spell-casting apider witches, and beetle-riding barbarians. The same wondrous but deadly Yard that once claimed his father's life now plunges young Slade into the midst of a brutal Bug War to decide the fate of his entire family.
