Beetle Boyáby M G Leonard
Described as ôa darkly funny Dahl-esque adventureö, this book mixes science, mystery and humour. When scientist and entomologist Dr Bartholomew Cuttle mysteriously disappears from a locked room, his son Darkus is convinced he has been kidnapped. He sets out to find him accompanied by a giant rhinoceros beetle which seems to have taken on some human characteristics. But to add to the mystery, who are the villainous bickering cousins Gamble and Risk who live next door and could they be involved in the kidnapping?
Beetle Boy is an amazing book about young boy called Darkus Cuttle . One day Darkus’ father goes missing and M G Leonard tells the story of how everyone thinks Mr Cuttle is dead, but Darkus thinks otherwise . I think Beetle Boy is an amazing and thrilling book and I would recommend this book to boys and girls ages 8 -14.
4 1/2 stars
This book is awesome! I’m a fantastic fan of animals and especially insects. Lots of action is in this book and that is a great thing. M.G. Leonard creates very funny and dramatic books.
