What is Mind-Controlling Bugs about?
A children's non-fiction romp through the weird world of parasites, from the jewel wasp that performs brain surgery on cockroaches to parasites that help farmers protect crops.
Who is Aidan Doyle?
Aidan Doyle is an Australian writer with a fun, engaging style that makes gross science irresistible.
What age group is it for?
Curious kids aged 6 and up, especially those who love the icky side of nature.
Is it actually educational?
Yes. Real entomology hides inside every zombie-cockroach story, including how parasites are used in sustainable farming.
Will it give kids nightmares?
It leans funny rather than frightening: scary facts delivered with a grin.
