I love finding books that I can hand to my students and know that they are going to enjoy reading.
This story is the perfect mix of struggle, friendship, and fun facts for my 5-6 class.
Thank you, NetGallery for the ARC. This one will definitely be added to my shelves!

The Bug Bandits was fantastic. Jenni L Walsh did her research in this based on a true bug heist! Young and old will love to read this story while learning quirky and fun bug knowledge along the way. Kids can identify with the main character as she navigates her way through concern for her father's incectorium and her own dream's survival when a bug heist threatens everything.

Looking forward to reading more young adult novels from Jenni Walsh!

Thank you to netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review!

Wonderfully fun children’s stopping a heist story. Lots of humour, a menagerie of animals, and entertaining kids as the main characters. As publicised Home-Alone meets A Night in the museum. Shortish, easy read book. Will keep all kids quietly entertained, except for their laughs. Thank you to Zonderkidz-Books and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine.

This was such a strong concept for a children’s fiction novel, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed about the description. The characters worked in this museum and enjoyed the heist element in this. Jenni L Walsh was able to create a strong story and hope there is more in this series.
