Eddie, a passionate reader and a shiny green bug, saves the school

and Charlotte's Web will love. Includes black-and-white illustrations

Eddie is a tiny green bug who loves to read and who lives behind the
chalkboard in the fourth-grade classroom with his parents, his 53
brothers and sisters, and his aunt Min. But when Aunt Min goes to the
school library to read a book and never returns, Eddie leaves the
comfort of his home for the first time and makes the dangerous trek
through Ferny Creek Elementary School to find her. After dodging running
sneakers, falling books, and terrifying spiders, Eddie reaches the
library, where he discovers Aunt Min stuck in a perilous situation! To
top it all off, there's a substitute librarian who aims to close the
library for good and get rid of all the books!
Encouraged by the brave deeds done by small creatures such as Stuart
Little and Charlotte from Charlotte's Web, Eddie comes up with a plan
to save the library--a plan that requires all the courage one little bug
can muster.
A great read-aloud and read-alone, this action-packed short novel
includes references to classic children's literature throughout and is
perfect for fans of Chris Grabenstein's Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's
Library and Lynne Rae Perkins's Nuts to You. Featuring extensive
black-and-white art from Newbery Honor Medalist and *New York
Times-*bestselling author-artist Victoria Jamieson.
