Bookroo's summary
Inspector Cricket faces a buzzing mystery when gangster Charlie Roach is nearly squashed at the Bugtown Insects' Ball. As the insects buzz with fear, can Cricket uncover the culprit before chaos ensues? With wiggling eyeballs and a trail of clues, this case promises unexpected twists and turns. Will Bugtown ever be the same?
From the publisher
Bad things in Bugtown have the insects bug-eyed. But Inspector Cricket is on the case to find out who tried to flatten low-life Charlie Roach. Like its predecessor, Ten Little Dinosaurs, this picture book contains a pair of roaming eyeballs that wiggle and jiggle from page to page.
