Darkus can’t believe his eyes when a huge insect drops out of the trouser leg of his horrible new neighbour. It’s a giant beetle – and it seems to want to communicate.
But how can a boy be friends with a beetle?
And what does a beetle have to do with the sudden disappearance of his dad and the arrival of Lucretia Cutter, with her taste for creepy jewellery?
