Customer Reviews

Great Book!

I just finished reading the book, and I have to say, it was a great book. It was filled with wonderful humor, like the incident when Megan went to the school's kitchen looking for bugs. That was classic! I can also see it making a great movie or at least a play. I also loved the insect grave yard that Megan's little brother had set up. The chemistry between characters was also very well set up and displayed. Great book! I fully recommend it!

I disagree with Publisher's Weekly

I'm not sure what they were thinking, but it appears to me that they forgot what the intended audience is for the book--kids! Kids use cliches, fuss and fume over teasing, and happen to like the kind of humor that's in this book. Already I have seen it at schools' book fairs, and many of the librarians in my particular school district have already picked it up. It has grown quite popular among the kids I know, especially in my household. I thought you might like to hear an opposing viewpoint to PW's review, but of course the best way to formulate an opinion is to read it yourself (there's material in there for adults, too).

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER!

What is cool/tight is that the author paired up a girl with the bugs. No offense to you girls. Her brother is hilarious! But I won't tell you why because that would spoil why he is so funny. There are twists and turns and a few tumbles but she makes the best of things. ....

Delightfully "Buggy"

This is such a neat book. I couldn't wait to read the ending and won't hesitate to recommend it to parents and their children. Ms. Zollman's characters were believable and delightfully funny. I hope Megan and Charlie will team up for another project.

Excellent Book

This book was fun and exciting to read. I could really get attached to the main characters and almost see life through their eyes. It was great.
