Description
Darkus can't believe his eyes when a huge insect drops out of the trouser leg of his horrible new neighbour. It's a giant beetle - and it seems to want to communicate. But how can a boy be friends with a beetle? And what does a beetle have to do with the disappearance of his dad and the arrival of Lucretia Cutter, with her taste for creepy jewellery?
The first book in MG Leonard's acclaimed trilogy, Beetle Boy is a thrilling adventure featuring exotic beetles, a daring quest, and a mixture of bold male and female characters. A truly venomous villain adds to the excitement, making this a story you won't want to miss.
Brilliant illustrations by Julia Sardà bring the world of beetles to life, making this book a worthwhile read for anyone who loves adventure and the natural world.
