MG Leonard
A fast-moving mystery-adventure pairs a boy’s search for his missing father with unusual beetles, new friendships and a colourful villain. Expect comic characters, insect facts and bursts of action.
Mary Pope Osborne, Linda Ward Beech, John Speirs, Joanna Cole
A lively school adventure uses a missing ant and an unusual journey to bring its class into contact with ant life. The book also aims to explain how ants work together.
Ailin Chambers
This is a practical, activity-led book: the main appeal is following drawing steps and producing creature cartoons, rather than reading a story about insects.
Andrea Blake-Garrett
A playful premise pairs sibling detectives with fantastical communication: one talks to animals and the other to insects. It may appeal to readers who enjoy mysteries with an imaginative twist.
Emily Gravett
A useful bridge from enjoying animal stories to thinking about how an ecosystem works.
