The Great Cicada Ball (Cockroach of Meadowfield, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Nothing in Meadowfield stirs up more excitement and anticipation than the emergence of the Great Cicada. The rare event happens but once every 17 Great Colds and Warming Times. Several suntimes of celebration surrounds the event; and the only bug-fellows that attend the Great Cicada Ball are those lucky enough to be alive and lucky enough to receive the Queen Bee's invitation. The second book in the Cockroach trilogy, The Great Cicada Ball, begins as final preparations for the festivities are underway. The Queen Bee's demands have reached the point of obsession. She orders her workers, especially Worker 1200, to complete every plan, schedule every event and organize each and every detail for the Ball. She does not intend for anything to go wrong. Her reputation and her legacy are on the line. More importantly, the future of Meadowfield is on the line as well. The Queen's decision to invite Cockroach, Stinkbug and Silverfish to the Ball and insist they take part in the entertainment could prove to be a big mistake. Then again, that decision may be the least of her problems. All the whimsical characters from A Pilgrimage of Pests, the first book in the series, return in this sequel. Cockroach, Silverfish and Stinkbug are up to their usual tricks; but Praying Mantis plays a bigger role, as does Worker 1200, the demanding Queen and the mysterious beetle known as Scarab the Dung. There's a host of new characters too and many new surprises leading right up to the exciting, final moments of The Great Cicada Ball.
