I know that this book is geared toward BOYS but "Hey!", I'm a woman who has LOVED "Bugs" her entire life and that's going back many, many decades! I have spent hundreds of hours on my tummy watching ants, pill-bugs, caterpillars munching leaves, and billions of spider babies tumble from their cloud-like egg casing. And I can say with a very clear conscience, that I've never knowing killed an insect, but instead, scooping up any vagabond bugs inside the house with a jelly jar and gently releasing them back into their kingdom.So, I was excited to preview and read a Pro-Bug book that didn't vilify insects but celebrated them, instead. And it does, gloriously so! The book introduces the reader to the wonderful world of "Arthropods: An animal with it's skeleton on the outside of it's body." I also like that the author used the correct word "insects" and not the overused and usually inaccurate "bug" word to describe arthropods.This is the story-line: Max, a young boy, is gifted an ancient book, "The Complete Encyclopedia of Arthropod" (along with an enclosed magical magnifying lens) by his Mum. She works at an auction house and this book was found at an old estate. Max immediately runs to his room to peruse the book, and upon using the magical magnifier to look at an island on a 2-page map, is immediately whisked to Bug Island and is reduced to the size of a bug! He becomes an ally to the Bug Nation that is being threatened by the adjacent Lizard Island when an erupting volcano creates a new land bridge between the two islands.This is a 3-part series and "The Lizard Wars" is book #1.
