Bookroo's summary

Laura is accidentally shrunk to insect size just as Newtonburg is overrun by bugs. As mosquitoes, bees, and ants swarm toward Dr. Bunsen’s house, the DATA Set must navigate a perilous backyard filled with grasshoppers and spiders to find her. Can they rescue Laura before she’s lost forever in this miniature world? Join the thrilling quest where every step could be their last, and discover if friendship can conquer even the tiniest of odds.

From the publisher

In this sixth DATA Set adventure the kids get shrunk down and go on a buggy adventure across Bunsen’s backyard. The town of Newtonburg has been invaded by all sorts of creepy-crawlies from mosquitoes to bees to ants and more! What’s worse is that they are all mysteriously swarming toward Dr. Bunsen’s house at the same time that Laura mistakenly gets shrunken down to the size of an insect. Can the DATA Set find their missing friend in time, or will Laura be forever lost in Dr. Bunsen’s backyard…which is full of grasshoppers, spiders, and things that go buzz in the night! With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The DATA Set chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
