Does Andy's essay "How Beetles, Bugs, and Worms Can Save Money and the Food Supply, Both"; have what it takes to win the contest? Better yet, will he finally be able to beat his cousin and arch rival, Jack? To find the answers to these questions read Beetles, Lightly Toasted by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Who knows?
