Sci-Finity: Bug Team Alpha series.
Illustrated by
Patricio Clarey.
An elite Earth-based Special Ops force, each member's genes grafted with different insect DNA, patrols the galaxy. The books feature a racially diverse rotating roster of lieutenants under Commander Dragonfly. Heavy on adventure, if light on character depth, this Star Trek–meets–G.I. Joe series is a good bet for reluctant or struggling middle-grade readers. Each volume includes discussion questions and writing prompts. There are three other fall 2017 books in this series. Glos. Review covers these Sci-Finity: Bug Team Alpha titles: The Dig, Juggernaut, and Stranded.
