(3) 4-6 Shades of Kafka: the villain of this trilogy-opener deliberately transforms herself into a human-beetle hybrid through genetic engineering. Seemingly bent on world domination, she kidnaps thirteen-year-old Darkus's father, a famous archaeologist. To stop her, Darkus and his friends must face the dangers of entomology run amok in this funny, fascinating, and unsettlingly insect-ridden sci-fi adventure.
