  The Crawlers - When Humanity...

  Philip K. Dick

  They were born near the radiation lab—soft, crawling, half-human things that no one wanted to claim as children. At first there were only a few, then dozens, then enough that cars began running over them on lonely highways and farmers started moving away in fear. Ernest Gretry is sent from Washington to quietly “take care of the problem,” but when he sees the creatures up close—building, learning, forming a colony—he realizes the real threat isn’t simply that they exist, but how fast they are changing. They don’t walk. They don’t speak. But they think. And they build. 
  What begins as a cleanup operation turns into a moral nightmare as parents must decide whether to hand over their own mutated children, towns collapse under anxiety and silence, and the crawlers continue to grow their underground city—spreading, tunneling, preparing. The story starts as body horror and ends as something closer to cosmic inevitability. If humanity hoped to contain the mutants, it may already be too late… because the crawlers have plans of their own. 
  “The Crawlers” is classic Philip K. Dick: a brutal, thought-provoking collision of science fiction, paranoia, and social commentary written long before most readers were ready to face its ideas. Dick asks the hard question beneath every “invasion” story—what if the new species isn’t invading… what if it’s replacing us? 
  Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) reshaped science fiction by treating it as a laboratory for what-ifs about identity, perception, government power, and the fragile nature of reality. His novels and stories became the foundation for films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, The Adjustment Bureau, and A Scanner Darkly. His work has been adapted into TV series, taught in universities, and debated by philosophers and futurists.

  When seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought. 
   
   
   
  If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they'd be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they'd have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they'd be doing this as friends . . . well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention. 
   
   
   
  Whether through serendipity or zemblanity, someone tricked their teacher into using their seventh-grade class to investigate the mystery of their town's long-missing treasure. From there, things have escalated. Now, the girls are stuck hiding behind a gravestone, dodging acorns, and just a few clues short of those jewels. 
   
   
   
  It's up to these enemies-turned-partners to uncover centuries-old clues to find the treasure at the end of this book before the mysterious person on their trail can get to it first . . .
