“Battle Bugs: The Chameleon Attack” continues the story of Max Darwin’s association with the inhabitants of Bug Island and of his assistance in their battle with the reptile army of General Komodo. Through the magic contained in his book “The Complete Encyclopedia of Arthropods”, Max is able to shrink to bug-size and appear on Bug Island. While attending his friend’s birthday party, Max once again is called to Bug Island where he acts as special advisor to General Barton, the titan beetle who heads the Battle Bugs. This time, General Barton asks Max to improve the Battle Bugs’ defenses as the termites build a watchtower so the bug inhabitants of the island sentries can issue a warning when the reptiles are crossing from Reptile IslandIn “Battle Bugs: The Chameleon Attack”, well developed bug characters having likeable personalities and their ingenious human friend Max Darwin, again combine forces to defeat their villainous reptile foes. In his continuing attempts to overtake Bug Island, General Komodo has, this time, employed both geckos and chameleons as his troops.Jack Patton is a clever author who knows how to appeal to young readers. Imbuing the bugs with human personalities, yet allowing them to remain “buggy” results in some humorous situations and conversations. However, I did not think there was as much clever humor in this book as in former offerings in the series. The battle scenes are exciting and suspenseful – young readers and listeners immerse themselves in the action on Bug Island.Patton also 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.
