Assigned to collect and display twenty-five different varieties of insects, sixth-grader Megan Hollander has to deal with her bug-loving five-year-old brother (who buries her collection out of compassion) and Charlie, the boy at school who teases her about "beggin'" for bugs. Both the excitement of sixth-grade crushes and fascination with the insect world drive this light, enjoyable story.
