Synopsis
The second in a magical illustrated new young fiction series for children aged 7-9 from best-selling author and illustrator, Laura Ellen Anderson!
Marnie Midnight is a little moth with BIG dreams! Marnie is having so much fun at Minibeast Academy, a school for bugs tucked into a giant tree at the bottom of the museum gardens. And this term it's time for something really exciting - the Great Critter Contest!
The contest sees minibug students set off to explore the school in teams, searching for clues. The winners get an incredible prize and Marnie and her team - best friends Floyd the bee (who is really an A) and Star the super-strong princess ant - are determined to be first to cross the finish line. But when Veronica gets into trouble and needs rescuing, Marnie and her team have to decide whether winning really is the most important thing ...

Marnie Midnight and the Great Critter Contest has a lovely story line - it is easy to understand. Floyd is a very funny character and I like how Veronica changes from mean to nice throughout the story. The ending has a surprising twist that you would not expect. I also like that if you have not read the first book, in a way this book summarises it for you.
