Publisher's summary

This backyard adventure-mystery by debut children’s author K. Tempest Bradford is perfect for fans of Clean Getaway, The Last Last Day of Summer, and Sideways School.

Eleven-year-old Ruby is a Black girl who loves studying insects and would do just about anything to be an entomologist, much to the grossed-out dismay of her Gramma. Ruby knows everything there is to know about insects so when she finds the weirdest bug she’s ever seen in her front yard, she makes sure no one is looking and captures it for further study.

But then Ruby realizes that the creature isn't just a regular bug. And it has promptly burned a hole through her window and disappeared. Soon, random things around the neighborhood go missing, and no one's heard from the old lady down the street for a week. Ruby and her friends will have to recover the strange bug before the feds do.

Ruby is the science hero we’ve all been waiting for!

Lovely, Diverse Spielbergian STEM Story

This charming little book follows a likably nerdy budding entomologist as she finds herself unexpectedly in a sci-fi story. The entomology is woven in effortlessly as is the diverse representation. It reminded me of my childhood love of bugs because of their otherworldliness.

Delightful!

I just got my wisdom teeth out, and I was babysitting my betide who lives to be read to. Normally I'm down, but I just couldn't do it this time. So I decide to pick up a couple audio books to get me through the week.

This was her favorite of the bunch. So much that she asked to listen to it a second time! It's fun and joyful, and it's a quick read. The kids in this book are great, especially Ruby!

Highly recommended!
