I'm so happy to have another volume of Beetle. This one was action packed, but also really heartfelt. It was great.

A delightful follow up to the first book, which is already a delight! I was so happy when I saw this on the shelf at the library and I realized that it was a sequel to one of my favorite queer middle grade graphic novels. This installment is about feeling comfortable in your own skin, even when that skin might be changing. It's such a wonderful message for a middle school audience, with a cast of characters who you want to be friends with.

All around, an A plus and I can't wait for a third book!
