Liberty lives with her dad in an apartment in his Bug Museum. When her friend overhears what might be a plan to steal and sell some of the rare bugs, Liberty, Cam, and Ellie need to put their heads together to figure out how to foil the bad guys.

The Bug Bandits was a fun mystery. Good twists, Liberty is inventive and smart, I also like that she had an old friend and a new friend and it didn't cause drama. Kids will like this one.
