Mr B's review

From the creator of Amelia Fang comes your new favourite group of bug friends, in their first year at Mini Beast Academy! Marnie Moth is obsessed with the moon and can’t wait to learn more about her favourite topic at school. However, Mr Atlas, the oldest, meanest teacher at school, can’t stand any talk of the moon and threatens expulsion to anyone who discusses the topic.

Marnie and her new friends know that something funny is going on, and they are determined to discover the truth!

This new story from Laura Ellen Anderson has absolutely charmed my imagination from mentions of the pipe that the ‘mythed’ incy wincy spider crawled up to the famous restaurant called ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ owned by Eric, the clever wit of this story is wonderful, paired perfectly with Anderson’s trademark gorgeous illustrations! I can’t wait for Marnie and her friend’s next adventure at Mini Beast Academy. – Hannah
