      Buggy Breakout - Carolyn Keene

      Chapter One

      Bug Week

      I love Bug Week! Nancy Drew said, doing a little skip as she walked down the hall toward class.

      Me too! her friend George Fayne piped up.

      Me three! Bess Marvin added. Check out my cool bug outfit! She twirled around, showing off the red ladybugs on her white T-shirt. The pockets of her jeans were embroidered with different-colored butterflies.

      Nancy giggled. Leave it to Bess to come up with a fashion statement about bugs. Bess was way into clothes. George, Bess’s cousin, was more into sports.

      This week was Bug Week for the third graders at River Heights Elementary School. The girls’ teacher, Mrs. Ramirez, was teaching the students all about insects.

      The day before, they had watched a cool movie about common bugs and their habitats, or homes. Today they were going to make bug posters, and tomorrow they were going on a field trip to the new River Heights Insectarium. Nancy couldn’t wait!

      The three girls walked into the classroom and took their seats. The rest of the students were already sitting down. Up front, Mrs. Ramirez was writing some words on the blackboard:

      HEAD

      THORAX

      ABDOMEN

      The teacher turned around. Can anyone tell me what’s so important about these three things?

      A boy named Michael Dorf waved his hand back and forth. Mrs. R.! Mrs. R.! Mrs. R.!

      Yes, Michael D.? Mrs. Ramirez said. She called him that because there was another Michael in the class: Michael Lawrence, or Michael L.

      Michael D. sat up very straight. All insects have a head, a thorax, and an abdomen. What is a thorax? A thorax is the part of the body between the head and the abdomen. He spoke precisely, like a scientist.

      Very good, Michael D., said Mrs. Ramirez. Can anyone tell me what—

      Insects have other things in common too, Michael D. interrupted. Like three pairs of jointed legs, two antennas, compound eyes, and a hard exoskeleton. What are compound eyes? Compound eyes are eyes that are made up of lots and lots of simple eyes. With compound eyes, insects can look in many different directions at the same time. What is an exoskeleton? An exoskeleton is a skeleton that’s on the outside of the body instead of the inside. Like a turtle’s shell.

      Nancy stared at Michael D., impressed. He sure knew a ton of stuff about bugs!

      Very good, Michael D., Mrs. Ramirez said. Can anyone tell me if spiders are insects? Michael D.’s hand flew into the air. Someone other than Michael D., that is, she added.

      Luna Valeri raised her hand. Um … they’re insects? I hate them because they’re creepy-crawly and supergross.

      "Hmm. They’re definitely creepy-crawly. But are they insects? Anyone else?" Mrs. Ramirez peered around the room.

      Sonia Susi put her hand up. Actually, they’re not insects. They don’t have antennas. And they don’t have compound eyes. She turned to Luna. I’m kind of scared of them too, she said with a
