Author

Ruby Finley is a gifted child with an interest in science...particularly entomology, or the study of insects.

One day she discovers a new species of bug. Men from the government appear almost immediately. They tell her it is an invasive species that must be eradicated, but she suspects things are not as they seem. Is it simply an ecological threat? Or a full-blown alien invasion?

I loved this book for Ruby. She’s a delightful protagonist that I think would be best friends with my own main character, Dotty Morgan.
