Chirp by Kate Messner


Mia and her family move to Vermont to be closer to her grandmother who has started a cricket farm.  She raises crickets for food!  Mia's parents are hoping grandma will be selling it and retiring, but she is not quite ready to yet.  Things start happening at the cricket farm that seem like bad luck or it could be sabotage.  Birds come in, temperatures get too hot and too cold, beetles in the cricket food, etc.  Mia's mom is making her have two activities for the summer. She does NOT want to do gymnastics because she broke her arm badly on the balance beam, so she chooses Warrior Camp(like gladiator camp) and Launch Camp (like a creative make things camp).  As her summer progresses, she makes a good friend in Clover (who attends both camps) and they begin to investigate who is out to get her Gram's business.  

Great read!!
