Warning - Rated Kids-Only for Bug Grossness

Jarrod can view the memories of any bug. He just has to eat it. It's not the tastiest of superpowers and, let's face it, fly memories aren't all unicorns and rainbows. Eating insects also doesn't net him many friends, but Jarrod's ready to prove that he and his bugs are worth more than ridicule.

When he swallows a fly while biking, he's in for a shock. The bug saw a room stacked full of sick dogs and puppies in crates. It's a puppy mill, and Jarrod needs to save the animals. But the flight range of the common housefly is five miles. Even if the police believed him, with no evidence, they can't help. It's up to Jarrod.

Trained cockroaches survey neighborhood basements. A fly taped to a window makes an excellent sentry. Every ant, mosquito, caterpillar--don't eat the fuzzy yellow ones--and beetle is his edible sidekick.

Will Jarrod save the dogs? Or is it all too much to swallow?
