Description
Wasp Box"Wasp Box is full of wonders, by which I mean it's full of drunken fathers and the Finger Lakes of New York and middling wineries and too smart and nosy for their own good kids and bomb shelters and young love and lost love and lost diaries and killer wasps. In this, his unbelievably smart, tense, breakneck first novel, Ockert has made something strange, and great, a book that is absolutely impossible to put down once you've started it." BROCK CLARKE,
"Wasp Box is full of wonders, by which I mean it's full of drunken fathers and the Finger Lakes of New York and middling wineries and too-smart-and-nosy-for-their-own-good kids and bomb shelters and young love and lost love and lost diaries and killer wasps. In this, his unbelievably smart, tense, breakneck first novel, Ockert has made something strange, and great, a book that is absolutely impossible to put down once you've started it."--BROCK CLARKE, author of Exley"With sentences as darting and sharp as the wasps that haunt this remarkable debut novel, Jason Ockert has crafted an unforgettable vision of an America--and a family--in peril."--LAURA VAN DEN BERG, author of The Isle of Youth
"Wasp Box may cause swelling, itching, anaphylactic shock, renal failure, barbed terror, stinging empathy, and profound joy."--BENJAMIN PERCY, author of Red Moon When a soldier returning home to a small New York town inadvertently transports an invasive species of deadly parasitic wasps, he sets off a frightening chain of events that throws an entire community into an unpredictable crisis. Escalating in its psychological, emotional, and narrative intensity, Ockert's gripping first novel examines the choices individuals make in the face of danger, the limits of personal strength, and the value of family loyalty when the familiar world unravels. Praise for Ockert's previous work:
"Ockert's voice is quirky, funny, and totally original--it conveys, in these dreamlike, virtuosic stories, a strange and vulnerable kindness you haven't read before."--George Saunders, author of Tenth of December
"Beautiful stories, searching and generous. Ockert never ceases to astound."--Junot D az, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"Ockert's plots are hair-raisingly original, his humor is feverish and dark, his language soars. And yet no matter what altitude of weird Ockert achieves here, his imaginary worlds are always populated by real people, characters who matter deeply to each other, and to their readers."--Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia

Great buy
Color: Blue+Red
My dogs kill every toy. They arrived very agressive chewers. These have lasted way longer than most balls have. Great value

If your dog loves tennis balls, you NEED these
Color: Azure+Orange, Color: Azure+Orange
Raising any puppy is tough. Raising a German Shepherd puppy has often left me questioning my life choices. So I was ecstatic the day that my 60-lb puppy decided that he loves tennis balls and occupied himself for 2 hours without needing constant intervention. Naturally, my immediate response was to make sure we had a constant supply of large tennis balls for dogs available. Now my puppy loves mischief, but he’s not an aggressive chewer. And I was irritated to discover that every brand and size of tennis ball broke within an hour max of play. By simply playing fetch and batting the ball around with his paws, every single tennis ball split into 2 halves. We needed something better!
These squeaky balls are exactly that! They come in a 2-pack. I gave my pup the 1st one a week ago and it’s still going strong! We play fetch in the backyard, he brings it into the doggy pool with him, it rolls around in the dirt and can be rinsed off easily. It’s by far his favorite toy, and he takes it everywhere with him. Finally a squeaky ball that can keep up with my dog! These are the perfect size, texture, bounce, squeak, everything. These are the ONLY squeaky balls I will buy from now on. Five stars for sure!

Really are indestructible. Amazing product.
Color: Blue+Red
Wow! Really indestructible. Our large dogs have destroyed other “indestructible” toys in less than an hour and these are amazing. They squeak, which our dogs love (we hate) and they float when they go into our pool. IF they ever do wear out or are lost I will definitely buy again.

Durable squeaky ball for chewers
Color: Blue+Red, Color: Blue+Red
These are great! My 54 lb GSP loves them and it’s the only thing she cannot destroy! She’s currently 1 year and we have had the balls for several months. We have this brand and similar ones too. They float, bounce, and squeak. The ridges are good for chewing.

Finally a Toy My Pitbull Hasn’t Destroyed in 5 Minutes
Color: Blue+Red, Color: Blue+Red
I have a 65 lb pitbull who destroys most toys almost immediately, so I’m always skeptical when products claim to be “indestructible.” Most toys last maybe a few minutes in my house before pieces are everywhere.
These have actually held up surprisingly well.
The material feels durable and thick enough to handle really aggressive chewing, and so far my dog hasn’t been able to destroy them like he does with most other balls and squeaky toys. That alone makes these worth it to me.
I also really like the size. They’re large enough that I don’t have to constantly worry about him accidentally swallowing them or choking while playing, which is a huge plus for bigger dogs.
The squeaker inside also keeps him interested longer since he usually gets bored quickly with toys that don’t make noise or bounce around well.
If you have a strong chewer or larger dog and you’re tired of replacing destroyed toys constantly, these are definitely worth trying.
