Angry army ants ambush Alabama

Summary: "Scooter McGillan doesn't know it, but there's big trouble brewing in the swamps and forests near his home on the outskirts of Russellville, Alabama. While hiking in the woods not far from his house, Scooter and his friend, Connor, find something odd: a large hole that appears to go deep into the ground. What created it? A bear? Coyote? Fox? The answer is more horrifying than they can possibly imagine. Soon, they find themselves ambushed by giant insects...army ants...that are as big as a normal adult! They flee the forest, only to discover that their friend, Annie Shepherd, has been kidnapped by the freaks of nature. With no one else to help, Scooter and Connor set out to rescue Annie from the clutches of the six-legged invaders. It's a mission that will take them beneath the earth's surface... and right into the lair of the most terrifying monsters they've ever encountered."-- From back cover.
