I thought this book was a very suspenseful story. I liked Darkus the best because he was the smartest to rescue his dad. It interested me because reading the first book I finally found out what happened next and them working together. Yes I would recommend it to others.

Read it if you like mayhem! It is the best bit of mayhem I have ever read! It is the second book in a series, it's better than the first one, in my opinion. I am looking forward to reading the third one so badly, as this book ending on quite the cliffhanger!

This is the next book in line of beetle boy and things only get more intense. The autjor author has done an amazing job of capturing little details that you may not realise play vital roles in the story. This fiction book was a jumble of facts fiction and friendship and in the end good triumphs over evil. I would definitely recommend

It was creepy and exciting. It is fascinating that Lucritia Cutter turns into a beetle. I really like Darkus and Baxter...and Bertholt, Virginia, Newton and Marvin.
