Two Thumbs Up In My Book

"The Firebug Connection" is definatley a book that's going to go on my favorite's list. Not only does it teach us many new things in the scientific field, it tells us we can make friends with first- thought foes. Maggie and Mitch are determine to find the answer to the baffeling question that has to do with the wierd non- adult- maturing adolescent firebugs. This book has a lot to do with nature, some of the words in the book are challanging as they were for me. Jean Craighead George is a celebrated author and a great one. She did awesome work on this Eco Mystery!

The Firebug Connection: An Ecological Mystery

Maggie Mercer, lover of bugs, bats, and beetles, is very happy with her pet firebugs- until they start exploding! Even more suspicious, only the firebugs in the jars are dying! Who, or what, could possibly be murdering her favorite birthday present? Could it be something she is feeding them? Or something in the glass that the jars are made of? She and Mitch, an annoying yet helpful computer whiz who is staying with her while their parents are on an important scientific exploration, consider everything as a suspect, or at least a clue. This is a wonderful book! It is perfect for anyone who loves nature, and a good mystery,(like me.) If you like this book, then I also recommend,"The Missing 'Gator of Gumbo Limbo," or,"Who Really Killed Cock Robin?" some other really good ecological mysteries by Jean Craighead George.
