About this listen
Darkus is miserable. His dad has disappeared, and now he is living next door to the most disgusting neighbours ever. A giant beetle called Baxter comes to his rescue. But can the two solve the mystery of his dad's disappearance, especially when links emerge to cruel Lucretia Cutter and her penchant for beetle jewellery?
A coffee-mug mountain, home to a million insects, could provide the answer - if Darkus and Baxter are brave enough to find it.

Brilliant story
From start to finish this is a great story. A mystery that starts of at a ripping pace and never let's up. Wonderfully drawn characters both good and bad in nature. The the idea underpinning it all is brilliantly original and will enthuse children and grown-ups alike. The author's reading finishes it all off beautifully - great voices.

Three boys aged 8-11 were captivated from start to finish!!
We loved the parts with the Beatles and how they mixed the human genes and how clever Baxter was. How the horrible lady transforms through the story.
Really exciting and it kept you in suspense, you could not predict what was going to happen as you listened to the story.
The authors ready is excellent and as you can see from the review our three boys aged 8-9-11 were captivated.

An exciting and original adventure
My 10 year old daughter and I loved this book.
It was gripping throughout and was really original. Can’t wait to listen to/ read the sequels.
