  1. What a story! This one combines the adventure of stolen art from a museum with the story of a true friendship that shows loyalty and bravery. See what you think!

  2. i really liked masterpiece and thought it was a riveting book but it kind of bored me on how it was about the same thing like the beetle goes out in the city and finds the stolen ——— but overall it was a good book and loved it

  3. During our First Top 3 Vote this year, the following comment was made about this book:
    “The family of beetles characters made it work! They are uniquely charming.”
