From School Library Journal Gr 2–5—Max, a budding entomologist, suddenly finds himself transported to an island where human-size, talking bugs and lizards are engaged in an all-out war. Max and his knowledge of all things insect-related may be the only hope to save the bugs from the lizard invaders. Action-packed, with occasional illustrations and lots of white space, this entry is ideal for newly independent and reluctant readers.
About the Author Jack Patton is an insect aficionado. He loves nothing more than observing creepy crawlies in his backyard. Jack lives in England with his wife, their two dogs, and a bustling ant farm.

Song Age Range: Although this is an early chapter book, the text is quite large and it's easy reading. The story is engaging for any bug lover though. 10 may be a little old for this book, I'd say a better age range is 5 to 8, depending on reading level. One of my kids was a very early reader and finding appropriate books was tough. If you have a very early reader, this is a good find.Story: Wow! A bug lover's dream come true! The story is about a bug loving boy named Max who knows a lot about them. An old tome and magnifying glass transport him to 'bug island' where there are bug friends, danger (but not too scary for a little one), and excitement - with a happy ending, of course. The writing is age appropriate but it's not sloppy and doesn't 'talk down' to the readers. I think this series will be well-loved.Illustrations: I have a pre-readers copy, so most are "not final" sketches. I can't say I care a lot for the pictures that appear to be ready as Max's head always looks contorted in them. Maybe it's a contemporary style? I'm not an artist.This story is perfect for stoking the imagination of bug lover's everywhere! While great for early readers, this would also be a fun bedtime book for younger kids to read with mom or dad.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Bugs Vs. Lizards, Oh My! By Pie Grrrl I know that this book is geared toward BOYS but "Hey!", I'm a woman who has LOVED "Bugs" her entire life and that's going back many, many decades! I have spent hundreds of hours on my tummy watching ants, pill-bugs, caterpillars munching leaves, and billions of spider babies tumble from their cloud-like egg casing. And I can say with a very clear conscience, that I've never knowing killed an insect, but instead, scooping up any vagabond bugs inside the house with a jelly jar and gently releasing them back into their kingdom.So, I was excited to preview and read a Pro-Bug book that didn't vilify insects but celebrated them, instead. And it does, gloriously so! The book introduces the reader to the wonderful world of "Arthropods: An animal with it's skeleton on the outside of it's body." I also like that the author used the correct word "insects" and not the overused and usually inaccurate "bug" word to describe arthropods.This is the story-line: Max, a young boy, is gifted an ancient book, "The Complete Encyclopedia of Arthropod" (along with an enclosed magical magnifying lens) by his Mum. She works at an auction house and this book was found at an old estate. Max immediately runs to his room to peruse the book, and upon using the magical magnifier to look at an island on a 2-page map, is immediately whisked to Bug Island and is reduced to the size of a bug! He becomes an ally to the Bug Nation that is being threatened by the adjacent Lizard Island when an erupting volcano creates a new land bridge between the two islands.This is a 3-part series and "The Lizard Wars" is book #1. It ends with a satisfactory ending of the Bugs winning THIS battle against the invading lizards but there is a mild cliff hanger as the lead lizard, General Komodo, tries to find a way to cross the river that aided in the bugs escape.This is what I liked about the book:1) PRO-Insect! Yeah!2) Max is African American. Yeah!3) Correct use of words and good description of insects.4) Fast paced and a very easy read.This is what I did NOT like about the book:1) This is a PRO-bug book but a very, very ANTI-Amphibian book! Why?????? It seems odd that this series is wonderful at teaching children to enjoy the wonders of insects yet it paints tree frogs, toads, geckos and lizards in a horrid light! I don't understand the prejudice, especially if you are trying to teach young children that ALL of the living beings in the world have their own special place and should be appreciated.I would much rather have had the "enemy" be the Volcano or some other natural disaster and the entire island population of lizards, frogs, scorpions and beetles join forces to escape the natural disaster.2) The illustrations. Ugh. I do realize that this is a preview copy and that most of the renderings were just sketches, which I actually enjoyed viewing more than the "finished art" in the first couple of plates. I just didn't enjoy the literal 'perspective' of the drawings, which made Max's face look distorted and just plain "weird", with a lop-side face and one eye constantly larger than the next one. Also, the 'bugs' were made to look like Transformers, which I also felt was "too much". I've read and previewed three other illustrated children's books in the past week and although each had a unique style of illustration, I didn't have this "meh" reaction to how they chose to depict their characters. As an example: in the first illustration, Max's hand is over his terrarium, tossing in Oak Leaves to his Walking Sticks. The way the hand is drawn, it looks as if he has a Baseball in his hand rather than an open fist. Quite odd.3) As I stated in my opening sentence, I'm a GIRL who LOVES bugs! I could only hope that a Bug-Loving Girl is added to the story-line so that it doesn't ostracize 50% of the "Human Bean" population. I have a female god-child that I read these books to and I'd love her to be included in the adventures.On a neutral note: there is one mildly confusing sentence on Page 29: "The scorpion charged around the lizard as it retreated, holding a clawed foot to its injured snout." It is the LIZARD who's injured, not the scorpion! It would be a better read if the sentence was written, "While the lizard was holding a clawed foot to it's injured snout, the scorpion charged around it to hastily retreat."Bottom Line: Great story, fast read, PRO-bug. Now, we just need a PRO-amphibian/Female friend aspect added to it and it would be perfect for both genders.

By Young Mensan BookParade I loved this book so much, I read it four times in two days!This is an adventure story of a boy called Max, who suddenly finds himself in Bug Island. He fights the lizards on the side of the bugs in The Lizard War. The bugs are fighting a battle against their predators, the amphibians and reptiles.I really loved the character Spike, the scorpion. He is funny and very brave too. He stands up to a scary lizard that is several times his size in the beginning of the book. In the later part of the book, Spike takes charge and faces General Komodo. Those were my favorite parts of the book. I liked all the other main characters in the book too – they were all really fun!The illustrations in this book are okay. I did not really like how the bugs and Max are drawn. The eyes of the bugs make them look scary and weird! I really wish Max and the bugs were drawn to look a little friendlier. The lizards are drawn just fine – they look evil and scary, which is how they should be.The story itself is great! I love the adventures Max has, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series “Battle Bugs – The Spider Seige”!Reviewed by Dhruv K. age 6, North Texas Mensa
