A review by libscote
Beetle Boy by M.G. Leonard

3.0

I have to admit, I saw this one and thought, "will I really like it?' But honestly, it is better than I expected. I learned a lot about beetles, and they seemed really interesting. Darkus's father has disappeared, and no one knows why. It does seem to be connected to the beetles. With the help of his uncle and two new friends, can he figure out what happened?

There's definitely a lot of danger in this story, which I enjoyed. There are some British terms in here which I think might need translation for younger readers, but overall, it's a fun book.
