This book was very adventurous. I really enjoyed it!
It was full of adventure and mystery. It was really enjoyable.
Interesting
I love it
Brilliant! The adventure continues with plenty of action and great characters. Lucretia Cutter is just a triumph of a villain - the whole idea behind her creation is sheer genius. Can't wait to read the third book to see how everything unfolds!
I would reccomend this book to a fan of adventure stories as there is always something going on in this book
It was my fav Beetle book
I thought this book was a very suspenseful story. I liked Darkus the best because he was the smartest to rescue his dad. It interested me because reading the first book I finally found out what happened next and them working together. Yes I would recommend it to others.
Read it if you like mayhem! It is the best bit of mayhem I have ever read! It is the second book in a series, it's better than the first one, in my opinion. I am looking forward to reading the third one so badly, as this book ending on quite the cliffhanger!
Lovely
I love how the beetles respond
Maybe for younger kids but still fun to read.
squeal to beetle boy . The character I most liked was Darkus. Recommend to people who like insects and learning their proper names
This book was very funny. I loved it.
I loved this book and how it shows the bond between a boy and his beetle and their adventure.
This is the next book in line of beetle boy and things only get more intense. The autjor author has done an amazing job of capturing little details that you may not realise play vital roles in the story. This fiction book was a jumble of facts fiction and friendship and in the end good triumphs over evil. I would definitely recommend
It was creepy and exciting. It is fascinating that Lucritia Cutter turns into a beetle. I really like Darkus and Baxter...and Bertholt, Virginia, Newton and Marvin.
Good book, just needs a bit morecsuspense and action
I loved this book because it was mysterious, Interesting and I couldn't stop reading it!
10/10!
Good read.
Amazing!!!!
Liked the bit when you saw her beetle boy !!
Might be a bit scary for some people but would recommend reading
It was very exciting! It was very mysterious until it was all revealed!
I thought this book was really great, I like quite a lot of the characters, and I would recommend this book to other people
Beetle Queen is the stunning sequel to the brilliant Beetle Boy book. It answers a lot of questions but also poses many more. I would completely recommend it and can't wait to read Battle of the Beetles.
A great follow on from Beetle Boy, where we find out more of what Lucretia is really up to. The children are great characters but I love Uncle Max - an adult who believes the unbelievable from the children. A thrilling adventure. Watch out for those yellow ladybirds!
I love this book because Lucretia Cutter fights back and tries to take over the world with beetles. This amazing should be read by people age 10-14.
I liked the book as the story was very unique and had so much action. My favourite character was the main one. They were on a quest to stop a Lucretia Cutter from starving every one. His name was Darkus i would recommend this to any person over 7 who likes action books.
I would recommend this book. My favourite character was Darkus. Its the second book of a series. They are trying to stop an evil woman who is trying to take over the world.
A good sequel to Beetle Boy.
