I really enjoyed the brilliant conclusion the the Beetle Boy Trilogy and am now totally in love with all of the characters. The trilogy has made me absolutely love beetles and I think that they are some of the best books that I have ever read.

It continues beetle queen which is a book after beetle boy. Its has the same type of action as the other ones. This book is also recommended for 7 and over

This is one of my favourite books! My favourite character was Barty because he was very doubtful but he changed and was then proud - It is inspiring how people can change. I would definitely recommend it to someone else because it has so many thrilling adventures and heartwarming moments!

I would recommend it to people who like adventures and bugs. My favourite character was Baxter the rhinoceros beetle. It interested me the most in the secret Biome.
