Buzzkill: a Wild Wander Through the Weird and Threatened World of Bugs by Brenna Mahoney. 384 p. Henry Holt & Company (BYR)/ Macmillan Publishers, October 10, 2022. 9781250801036.
Waiting on Wednesday features Buzzkill: a Wild Wander Through the Weird and Threatened World of Bugs by Brenna Mahoney. When I saw a press release for this book, I realized that I rarely feature informational books in "Waiting on Wednesday" posts. That intriguing title and cover really piqued my interest. This book releases on October 11. Here's the publisher synopsis: The praying mantis is the only animal on Earth with one ear—and it’s in the middle of its chest. Aphids are born pregnant. Moths can’t fly during an earthquake. If you didn’t know these things, you soon will. Packed full of jaw-dropping facts, Buzzkill presents the big picture on bugs. You might think ew, gross. Insects are icky. Or scary. Or dangerous. They can be. But there’s so much more you need to know.
Insects play a critical role on our planet, from sustenance to pollination to medicines and more. Brenna Maloney tackles both the wacky and weird, as well as threats to insects and their habitats, their possible extinction, and ways that everyday people, like you, can prevent their decline.
Find out what all the buzz is about!
Happy reading!
