Jay Hosler has a wonderful skill for presenting science, adventure, emotion, and family in a wonderfully blended narrative, and it is on full display in this book! The story herein was not precisely what I expected from the blurbs I read, but that only made the twists and turns more curious and intriguing. ( )

READING THIS BOOK IS LIKE COMPLETING A LOVE CIRCUIT. Hopefully I'll get a chance to write more later. ( )

People can believe whatever they want, and I respect that. I not trying to be mean, this topic should be mention and talk about.

As for the pro-science/antic-religion, this book was publishing in 2015. We have come a long in understanding how the world works. Christians have sign a letter saying that evolution and the existent of god can coexist.

“To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance…”
(and religion ignorance)

The Last of the Sandwalkers can be a bit more enjoyable I love the science, but it can be better than this. There can be some more research actually a lot more instead of pointing your finger at a group of people due to what they think over a hundred years ago when the theory of evolution was first brought up.

It is 2018 now and thing have change humongous. Jay Hosler has a good story, I love all the facts about bugs. I sure kids will like this; the remarks are not too harsh for them to notes or care. This is a great book to teach kids what bis and straw man arguments look like.

People can write whatever they want, as for Scientist and any field that has research they are supposed to avoid bias. To have ignorance is the lowest form of thinking there is. I not putting myself higher than anyone. I'm a victim of ignorance. It common in this world to be that way.

There also a great website that explains how evolution and creation can go hand in hand:

ARC received from First Second

This book was an awesome surprise! I loved the concept of using beetles to tell a story of scientific inquiry. I enjoyed the fictional elements of the traveling family of beetles, but I learned so much about insects, their anatomy, environment, predators, and more while following their adventures. It is an interesting and inspirational graphic novel. The artwork is deft and provocative and easily aids the learning experience while retaining the graphic novel feel.

This graphic novel is perfect for teachers and librarians looking for Common Core titles for middle and high school students, especially for reluctant readers. Non-fiction and fiction and perfectly combined in this book. Highly recommended for young scientists and adults who want to remember the importance of making discoveries. ( )
