I thought this book was really good because there's was so much going on at a time and tension was building though nearly the whole book especially near the end. I enjoyed every page of the book.

This is a great book my favourite person was Vanessa. I would definitely recommend this to someone. I loved how they cared about the bugs so much.

I liked when his dad went missing and they couldn't find him because they thought he ran away or something like that, that's why I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book for people who love adventure and action stories.

I really liked this book because it was full of mystery and you don’t know what’s going to happen next. My favourite character is Lucretia Cutter because she is very mysterious and shocking.

I thought the book was very interesting.The book tells a story about a boy called Darkus and some other kids who were bulying him.They had a conversation and an argument which led into a fight. While they fought Darkus found a beetle and he named it Baxter. He was a special kind of beetle, It is a rinosaurous beetle with a big , long horn . The story is about to get creepy… Find out yourself! I really think it’s factual . It interested me because there are lots of mysteries. I would definitely recommend this book to all my friends.

This is a book about a boy who stumbles across a beetle but he doesnt realise the chain of events that will occur. It was a fiction book and is the first in the series. Reading this book will give you a wider interest in animals but is also about the bond between friends. I would recommend this to insect lovers or anyone who would enjoy reading about beetles.

I thought that it was amazing! I would describe it as adventurous for Darkus to rescue his father with his friends and his uncle, also I would describe it as a detective book because he is trying to solve the mystery of his fathers disappearance and Baxter (The Beetle) helps him. I can't wait for the next one!
