Fury on the Dance Floor (Bug Girl #2)
by Benjamin Harper (Author) Anoosha Syed (Illustrator)
Being a superhero isn't easy. But surviving a middle school dance? That's when things get really hard...
Amanda Price never dreamed she'd turn into Bug Girl, a hero with the powers of the insect kingdom. She also never dreamed it would be this difficult. Turns out superpowers aren't much help with Geri, the new bully terrorizing the seventh grade. Or with Emily. She's supposed to be Amanda's partner in crime-fighting, but she's too busy freaking out about the upcoming dance.
When a mystery monster appears in town and seventh graders start disappearing, Bug Girl needs Emily's help more than ever. Soon both girls are tangled in a dastardly scheme--and the fate of their school, their town, and their very lives will be decided on the dance floor.

Review quotes
PRAISE FOR BUG GIRL
"Bearing all the campy hallmarks and high drama of a classic superhero romp, this entertaining ... tale also features interesting entomological tidbits throughout." — Kirkus Reviews
"The villain is dastardly, the heroes are staunch, and the costumes are impressive, making this high-quality standard superhero fare with the added bonus of some poignant details of how even the closest friendships may fade amid the social pressures of middle school." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Tucks both middle-school fashion advice and insect facts into a tale that scuttles along to a wildly destructive climactic battle." — Booklist
Sarah Hines Stephens has been a children's book reader, editor, seller, buyer, doctor, author, copyeditor, ghostwriter, and speaker for many years--and she is still most of those things. She makes her home in Oakland, California where she lives with her husband, two kids, and two dogs. When she is not doing book related things, Sarah enjoys cooking and eating and gardening and traveling. And she's pretty good at them. Sarah is not a good dancer, but she does that anyway.
