Ridiculously charming with its own little bug-lore, adorable artwork, and pleasing color palette. The two main characters are innocent sweetie-pies.

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end, and it manages to covertly sneak in some “life lessons,” like, communication and peace is good, and, sometimes, your friends will change, or what’s a cage to you might be someone else’s home (there’s even a random drug-trip scene with special mushrooms). Sometimes, the beetle boys got philosophical. Also, Dragonfly is one of my favorite characters.
