Overview:

The author the this books name is Carrie Gleason. The Book I have chosen is a non-fiction. My opinion of
the book it was factual. It informed me with plenty of details for each bug. I found that the bugs in the
book surround us in dust and in our beds. The books theme was insects. The insects were bedbugs,
mites, and ticks. The book addresses the fact that these insect are all around. In the book it says that
they feed of our skin, or our blood. Bugs hide in many places even our bed and clothes. So we need to
be careful and stay safe, that’s what the book informed me.

Purpose:

The purpose of the book was to inform the readers. It informed readers about the different kinds of
bugs that hide in your bed and clothes. It informs the readers that bugs aren’t just outside. In the book it
talks about bedbugs, mites, and ticks. It informs that they want to drink our blood or they want to eat
our dead skin. The book tells about the different types of species of these bugs. There was no intended
audience in the book. The book was open to anyone that’s wanted to read it. The purpose of this book
was well explained.
