Illustrated by
Victoria Jamieson.
Bug Eddie leaves his home behind an elementary-school chalkboard to rescue his aunt from the school's library. The book-loving young bug soon launches a plan to save the library from closure, a cause as important to him as getting injured Aunt Min home safely. Copious references to the world of children's literature enhance the engaging story line. Personality-rich illustrations perfectly match the lighthearted tone.
