{"product_id":"2940012817884","title":"Voyage to the Planet of the Giant Bugs","description":"Jake and Ashley Wilder are typical siblings.  They love their parents, they go to school, and they nitpick each other every chance they get.  Just like most brothers and sisters.  With one exception.  These two kids live on a space station orbiting a planet far from an environmentally ravaged Earth that can no longer support its population.  Jake, Ashley, and their parents are part of an expedition attempting to terraform the planet below, but their mission is interrupted by an emergency alarm, warning everyone to evacuate.  A volatile chain reaction in the power system means the space station is doomed.  And the atomic clock is ticking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJake, Ashley, and three other “spacelings” jettison in an escape pod and, after seeing the space station explode, can only hope their parents escaped in time.  They voyage to the nearest habitable planet, one with an atmosphere similar to Earth’s, an exploratory base populated with human colonists, and no known predators.  Or so the pod’s computer database informs them.  They quickly discover that, due to an experiment gone horribly awry, insect specimen have grown to giant proportions and are crawling (or flying or swimming) all over the planet.  They’re creepy.  They’re deadly.  And they’re hungry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJake and Ashley never imagined they’d be chased by a giant poisonous millipede, trapped in an oversized spider’s web, caught in the middle of a gigantic ant war, or threatened by a towering deadly praying mantis, but these are just some of the carnivorous creepy-crawlies they encounter.  They’ve got to use every bit of their resourcefulness, loyalty, and courage to stay alive.  Can these kids keep themselves from becoming a bug lunch, find a way to blast off back into space, and reunite with their parents?  Maybe.  If they can only survive long enough to escape from the Planet of the Giant Bugs.","brand":"Will Falconer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078960267504,"sku":"2940012817884","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012817884_p0.jpg?v=1763572750","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012817884","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
