Freddie Liddle's town is overrun by man-eating bugs, 3D-printed by his classmate Trevor. With his friends and pet monsters, Freddie must stop these relentless pests before they consume everything. Can they outsmart the bugs as they grow stronger and more dangerous, or will the town be overrun? The battle against these creepy crawlers is on, and the stakes have never been higher.

Billions of them.Just when Freddie Liddle thought he could catch a break, a new kind of terror infests his town: slimy, disgusting, man-eating, self-replicating bugs. But these aren’t just any pests–these bugs were 3D printed by Freddie’s classmate Trevor, and they’re stronger, faster, and meaner than any other insect on earth.Now it’s up to Freddie, his new friends, and their pet monsters to stop these bad bugs before they devour everything in sight. The kids start crunching, stomping, and smashing, but as the bugs get bigger, the chances of winning against them get smaller.
