Beetle Boy

Darkus Cuttle’s father vanishes from a locked room at the Natural History Museum, leaving Darkus uprooted and determined to find out what happened. He moves in with his eccentric uncle, makes new school friends, and begins noticing that the beetles around him are far from ordinary.

As Darkus investigates, he discovers a hidden world of intelligent beetles and a dangerous connection to a flamboyant, frightening villain with an obsession with insects. The search for his father becomes a rescue mission, drawing in friends, family, and a beetle ally named Baxter.

The mystery deepens into a larger struggle over the beetles’ survival, with science, danger, and comic eccentricity colliding. Darkus and his allies must outwit their enemies, protect the beetles, and uncover the truth behind the disappearance before the plot closes in on them.
