I am the swarm / Haley Chewins.

But Nell Strand knows that her family's magic is a curse. . . . Nell sees the way magic rips her family apart again and again. When Nell's own magic arrives in the form of ladybugs alighting on the keys of her beloved piano, the first thing she feels is joy. . . . But soon enough, the rest come. . . . Worst of all are the wasps. It doesn't matter how deep she buries her rage, the wasps always come"--Provided by publisher.
