The Airport Bugs Fight On is an uplifting children’s book that will put a smile on everyone’s face. Ludvig the bedbug lives a fun, laid-back family life at the airport. One day, a health inspector arrives and threatens to shut the whole place down. Giving up is not an option for the bedbugs, no way – now is the time to be clever and take control in their own hands. I mean legs. Allied with the airport beetles, the bedbugs embark on an adventure to save their home. The Airport Bugs Fight On is a story about bravery, the power of working together and is chock full of laughs, surprises, and jelly donuts!
