The I Escaped Series: The World's Favorite New Escapes. Survival Stories For Today's Generation

13-year-old Carlos in Arizona finds himself in a grave situation, far from his friends and the fun at the BMX track. His mundane chores take a terrifying turn when he accidentally unleashes a swarm of killer bees from a hidden hive. Their backyard is now a buzzing battlefield. Worse, Carlos and his younger brother are locked out of the house, directly in harm's way. How can Carlos battle this fierce swarm? He's just a kid and he's way out of his element. But he can't afford to freeze; he has to act. Facing the relentless assault of bees, Carlos musters all his courage, steering his brother through the yard. In the midst of this buzzing chaos, Carlos's resourcefulness and bravery shine, setting the stage for a remarkable and daring escape.
