Young readers will love this touching story about the importance of being recognized, heard, and loved:One morning Gregory Sampson wakes up to find that he has turned into a giant, purple-brown beetle! But no one except Gregory's best friend Michael notices the difference--not even Gregory's parents, his teachers, nor his little sister can see it. Michael wants his best friend Gregory back. But why did Gregory go from boy to bug? And why doesn't anyone seem to care?

Gregory Sampson wakes up one morning and finds that he's become a giant bug! A purple-brown beetle, to be exact. But no one notices the metamorphosis-not Gregory's parents, not his little sister, not his teachers, not even the kids at school. Only his best friend, Michael, sees the change. And Michael wants his friend back just as much as Gregory wants to be his old self again. But why did he go from boy to bug? And why don't people seem to care? As Gregory searches for answers-and a way to recover his identity-a poignant story unfolds about the need for love and recognition.

Gregory Sampson woke one morning to discover that he had become a giant beetle. He had a large, purple-brown beetle body. He had two long beetle antennae. And six, thin, hairy beetle legs.' 'Gregory, get dressed and come down for breakfast,' his dad called. When Gregory Sampson wakes up one day to find he has become a beetle, he is pretty upset. But what is more upsetting is that nobody notices! Not his mother, not his father, not his sister, not his teacher. Only his best friend Michael realises that Gregory is now a beetle. Together, they try and work out what to do. This is a brilliantly funny story that has deceptively complex messages, touching on relationships within the family, self-confidence and how others perceive you. A classic of the future. "Better than Pokemon. I sent this to my eight year old nephew and I hear he's very upset that he's not Beetle Boy. He's memorised much of the book already. It's replaced Pokemon as his reason for living." - A customer from Amazon.com.
