Synopsis

For over hundred years, humans have battled mosquitoes with pesticides. Now, the mosquitoes are fighting back.

When their newly developed disease, leopard spot fever, is perfected, it will wipe out the human race.

Thirteen year-old Crick and her best friend (a cockroach named Peri) embark on a desperate mission to stop them. Their mission takes them to tropical Panama, where the mosquito leader is marshalling her forces. But more than just mosquitoes await Crick and Peri, and soon they are running for their lives from the evil Dr. Dirk, in league with the mosquitoes. They must use all their wits and draw on a host of insect allies, but will it be enough to survive and stop the mosquitoes?

À propos de l'auteur

Robinne Weiss grew up exploring the woods and fields of rural Pennsylvania, and has been known as The Bug Lady since she was seven years old. After two years in the Peace Corps, living with an astonishing array of arthropods in a mud house in Panama, she made her nickname official with a Masters degree in Entomology. She has spent over 25 years teaching children the real-life stories of insects. A Glint of Exoskeleton is her first foray into entomological fiction. Though Robinne has never actually spoken to an insect, many hours watching them in nature have taught her much about their lives. She now lives in New Zealand with her husband, two children, an evil cat, four dairy goats, five chickens, and a whole lot of bugs. She blogs about food, gardening, the natural world, and rural life at https://robinneweiss.wordpress.com/.
