See all formats and editions

YOU are Greenville’s only hope.


You choose which path you take. You can fail your mission or succeed your wildest expectations. But beware, within these pages lies great danger – giant bugs, ants, ladybirds, praying mantises and more. You might come to a grizzly end, or be transformed but whatever happens a real hero keeps fighting, even after they fail.


Are you ready?
Discover a world of spies and giant insects and danger. Solve problems. Decipher code. You must defeat the Bugman, the evil villain turning insects into monsters, or die spectacularly. On the way, you never know what will happen - you might be caught in a sand trap with a waiting antlion, fly on beautiful giant butterflies, become an explorer or a time traveller or a spy. There are over 25 endings, from gloriously funny, to heroic, to splatter-horror. What path do you want to take?

Warning: this story contains a mix of real and fictional science.

A.J. lives in a hundred year old house overlooking Wellington harbour with three cats and a family all obsessed with games, books and dungeons and dragons. A.J. has a head full of monsters, and recklessly spills them onto the written page. Beware dragons, dreadbeasts, taniwha, and small children—all are equally dangerous, and capable of treading on your heart—or tearing it, still beating, from your chest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious fun!
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018

Hilarious fun ensues as Mr Adams’ (soft as cheese) and Mrs Xavier’s (possibly ex-army, she’s so strict) classes climb aboard the bus for a field trip to the Greenville Natural History Museum. The new kid, you don’t know anyone. There’s Frankie, who has invented a transmogrification shrink-grow thingy, a girl named Kennedy, and possibly someone named Steve... But at the museum, the Bugman Jeremy Wilder, confiscates Frankie’s transmogrification remote and after that everything goes wrong. It’s up to you to make the decisions, but there are giant spiders, antlions, spies, and a fake janitor roaming the museum. Plus, Jeremy the Bugman intends to take over the world. I really hope you make it out alive.

Fantastically fun, frantically fast-paced, and occasionally informative, this you-choose adventure will keep the kids happy for hours. A must-read for middle grade bug lovers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Forgettable and rambling
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019

This not not a particularly interesting story. The blocks of text are too long with too many arbitrary plot turns out of your control. The different branches neither offer enough variety to be amusingly strange nor enough cohesion to be navigated as a puzzle nor enough narrative depth to be engaging on their own.

He couldn't stop telling us about how he died or saved the day. Anytime they engage in a book is 5 star for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny adventures with giant bugs
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2020
You get to be in the driver's seat for this field trip gone hilariously awry. C'mon, did you expect any less when Frankie is involved? While there are a few happy endings, most most paths are full of danger and lead to certain death. Nothing gory or graphic, more in the cartoon violence type way and written with a comic touch. Kind of Ms. Frizzle meets Lemony Snickett type humor. Which is an odd combo, but it works. My kids liked the grizzly endings where they became slaves to their ant overlords or were eaten by ladybugs or got stuck in a giant wad of exploding gum best. Actually their favorite was The Ending that is Too Scary for One of the Authors.

The story parts on this between choices are a bit longer than in similar books and build some really engaging and humorous stories. Definitely a hit with the elementary crowd it is aimed at. This is the type of book that is great for reluctant or emerging readers because it is made up of all these bite sized interactive chunks. Lots of action, get to the resolution quickly, plenty of humor, and even a little bit of science thrown in.

The embedded links make it super easy to navigate through the story. Each ending contains links that send you back to the last major decision you made or the beginning so you can start again.

This is an honest and voluntary review of an ARC
