Saved by a Bug is a warm, lightly suspenseful childhood story told from the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy and his friends during an unforgettable winter and summer by a neighborhood lake. What begins as an ordinary adventure becomes a defining moment-one that quietly explains the origin of a familiar playground and road-trip game passed down for generations. Written for children and families, the story blends friendship, fear, humor, and memory in a way that appeals to both young readers and adults. With engaging illustrations and clear, accessible prose, Saved by a Bug is ideal for independent readers, read-alouds, and shared reading, offering a meaningful story about resilience and shared childhood experience.
