Join the expedition! Travel along to find the elusive golden beetle. A search for one thing can lead to more precious discoveries about oneself.
Leaving London behind, Margery Benson, a schoolmarm and spinster in 1950, embarks on a quest to the other side of the world in search of her childhood obsession-- the golden beetle of New Caledonia-- with the help of a fun-loving assistant who changes her life forever.

Lori W

I am a circulation assistant living the dream, as libraries are truly my happy place! I see books as the ultimate teleportation devices, able to transport me to any place or time, real or imaginary. Although I have lived in eight states, including Hawaii, I consider Ohio home and love cheering on the Buckeyes. I also enjoy snuggling with my standard poodle pup, Marco, curating playlists and orchestrating elaborate, forced family fun theme nights.
