This book is not for younger kids, that's for sure. I am nine, and when I read this book, it had some confusing parts, and sad parts. But it is an okay book. 10 and up, 3 stars!
This is one we read out loud, a ten year old and a 12 year old, who had no interest until we got started. just when you think you are too old to root for a beetle to save the day, you are hooked. It was fun, lots of drama, fascinating behind the scenes art history too.
