Welcome to The Grand Bug Hotel: five-star luxury, world-famous service. and absolute mayhem. When best friends Vex and Bo arrive with their suitcases and a very fancy brochure, the Bug Hotel looks like the holiday of a lifetime: bellhops in tiny hats, a glittering lobby, celebrity guests on the rooftop helipad. even a Termite Queen being carried to check-in on a royal litter. What could possibly go wrong? Answer: Everything. Room numbers make no sense. The map might as well be modern art. Their luggage vanishes. Termite toddlers are chewing through the hotel faster than the ants can fix it, an aging moth actress mistakes them for admirers and dinner comes with a dress code they definitely can't meet. Meanwhile, something shady is going on behind the scenes, and the hench hotel manager may not be quite what he seems. A fast, funny graphic novel caper about keeping your head when the ceiling is literally falling in. Because in this hotel, the service is buzzing. and survival is not guaranteed.
