Books Included in This Collection:
Beatle Boy
Darkus’s world changes when a colossal beetle appears in the home of his unpleasant new neighbour. The creature seems to understand him, and the mystery behind his father’s disappearance begins to unfold. This opening adventure blends tense sleuthing with a touch of science, inviting readers to explore entomology through Darkus’s eyes. The pace stays brisk as clues mount and the bond between boy and beetle deepens, laying the groundwork for a larger, darker plot that threads through the trilogy. A perfect entry point for curious minds who love clever puzzles and heart-pounding discoveries.

Beetle Queen
In this sequel, Lucretia Cutter’s menace intensifies as her yellow ladybird spies swarm, and Darkus, Virginia, and Bertolt face new threats from former allies turned uneasy enemies. The stakes rise as he grapples with the constraints placed by Darkus’s father and the cunning traps laid by Lucretia. The trio’s tenacity is tested as they chase fragile clues, confront prison-breakers Humphrey and Pickering, and weigh trust against danger. It’s a darker, faster-paced chapter in which the world of beetles becomes more immersive and the moral lines blur in the pursuit of justice.
