Praise for this book
Praise for The Highland Falcon Thief:
"M. G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman bring the classic mystery on a train bang up to date with a carriage-load of wit and suspense." --Ross Welford, author of Time Travelling With a Hamster
"A fabulous fast-paced ride, packed with clues, illustrations and intrigue." --Bookseller Praise for Beetle Boy:
"Debut novelist Leonard gives readers a rare glimpse into the world of insects, mixing adventure, mystery, and science to create a story that's much more than just a novel about bugs. Even the most squeamish will be charmed." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Leonard unravels the madcap plot in sporadic bursts of frenzied action and humor. Overall, a charming and (at times) affecting romp through beetle land." --Kirkus Reviews "Fans of madcap adventures and anthropomorphised sidekicks will enjoy this fast-paced series opener." --Booklist "Engaging . . . The story moves quickly, and the characters are both wacky and entertaining." --School Library Journal "If I didn't already devote most of my waking hours to beetles, reading this book would make me want to . . ." --Max Barclay, Coleoptera Collections Manager, Natural History Museum, London
