'These stories make me wish I was a kid again.' Terry Denton
The school holidays kick off with a magical trip to the lolly factory. However, the next morning Anders and his friends awaken to find that their beetles have vanished!
They all set out for Mount Rumple where they hope to be reunited with their pets. When they spot some mysterious beetle carvings, the gang heads high into the mountains. But then there's an avalanche! Will they find their beetles - or will they be the ones who need rescuing?
Anders and his friends have adventures and work together to solve problems in this cosy graphic novel series by the highly acclaimed creator, Gregory Mackay.
