My Rating: 4/5
When I put a hold on this via the library I thought that it was just a picture book and so I thought it would be perfect for the kids I work with who are obsessed with catching bugs. Imagine my surprise when I got this sweet little graphic novel with just the most adorable art style. For who it's aimed for and what it is it is such a sweet little read. I would recommend to someone in the middle-grade age range.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
