A stormy night, a hidden creature, insects, unexplained disappearances, adventure, shivers, and humor: welcome to the Insect Inn!

When a storm hits on their way home, the Dungmans, a beetle family, are forced to overnight at Insect Inn, which is almost full up. Crammed into a cramped, ant-sized room, Suzy just can't sleep, what with her mother's snoring and her grandfather's feet in her face. Curious, she decides to explore the hotel...
In her follow-up to The Pebble Who Wanted to See the Sea, Claire Schvartz continues to explore themes dear to her: independence, self-reliance, and seeing the world.
