Beetle Boy by M.G. Leonard is not just a book; it's an invitation to embark on a wondrous adventure that captivates the imagination of readers young and old. Perfectly crafted for fans of Roald Dahl, this inaugural instalment of the BATTLE OF THE BEETLES series has made a notable mark in children's literature.

In this critically acclaimed novel, we meet young Darkus, who finds his world turned upside down when a giant beetle falls from his unpleasant neighbour's trousers. This colossal creature is not just any insect; it carries with it a tale of friendship, mystery, and adventure. As Darkus dives into his unlikely bond with the beetle, he must also uncover the secrets surrounding his father's mysterious disappearance and the menacing figure of Lucretia Cutter, known for her unsettling jewellery.

Beetle Boy has received numerous accolades, including the Branford Boase Award 2017 and a shortlist nomination for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Esteemed authors like Michael Morpurgo and Philip Reeve have praised its whimsical narrative and vibrant characters.

Brilliantly illustrated by Julia Sardà, this book not only enchants with its storytelling but also brings a vivid world of exotic beetles to life. Readers will find themselves cheering for Darkus as he faces off against a truly venomous villain, making it a gripping tale that resonates with adventure seekers.

Immerse yourself in this delightful trilogy, starting with Beetle Boy, and discover why beetles are regarded as some of the most fascinating creatures on Earth.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
