“Battle Bugs: The Cobra Clash” continues the story of Max Darwin and his association with the Battle Bugs. Summoned from the school library by a signal emanating from “The Complete Encyclopedia of Arthropods”, Max falls into quicksand and is rescued by Dobs, a dobsonfly, and logistics bug. He learns that his best friend the scorpion Spike has been bugnapped by the reptiles and General Komodo. General Barton, the titan beetle that leads the bug forces, asks for Max’s assistance in rescuing Spike. Buzz, a hornet; Webster, a shy spider; and Gigantus, a giant centipede; and, along with Max form the SWAT (Stingers, Webs, and Toxins) team tasked with rescuing Spike.“Battle Bugs: The Cobra Clash” has well developed characters, likeable bugs and villainous reptiles. Imbuing the bugs with human personalities, yet allowing them to remain “buggy” results in some humorous situations and conversations. The rescue scenes and escape help immerse the reader into life on Bug Island and the continuing conflict between the bugs and reptiles for supremacy. Jack Patton cleverly slips interesting, educational facts and observations into the text so subtly that they become part of the story and a reader learns something without knowing their knowledge is increasing. Illustrations add appeal for younger readers and for youngsters to whom you may be reading.My six-year old grandson loves Jack Patton’s Battle Bug series. He is looking forward to our reading this book during a long flight to Atlanta. As the next-to-the-last book in the series, “Battle Bugs: The Cobra Clash” sets up the scenario for the final battle and control of the island. Although the story was interesting and it introduced some new characters, this book was not as exciting or engaging as the former Battle Bugs books. Nevertheless, if your young reader is as enamored of the Battle Bugs as my grandson is, you will want to get this book.
Thanks to this series, my son is a walking creepy crawly encyclopedia and we couldn't be more thrilled! We have already preordered all of the upcoming books and he asks daily if it is time for his next book to arrive. Excellent job captivating curious young minds! My son begs to look up and study all of the creatures online after reading these books and is constantly shocking people with his knowledge of all things Battle Bugs related. We can't wait to see what battles will be waged ahead!
My 8 year old grandson asked for all of these Battle Bug books. He read one in school and loved it. So of course grandmother bought the whole series with the exception of the last one coming out in a couple of weeks. Fun read for little boys.
My 7 year old son LOVES this series. He hated reading until we found Battle Bugs, now he wants to read all the time! He can't wait for the next installment to be released
My son wanted the entire series for his bday. I have skimmed the book and he is glued and says that they are very adventurous. Gets his imagination going!
