The first book in the bestselling BATTLE OF THE BEETLES series!
'Truly
great storytelling.' MICHAEL MORPURGO
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?
