INVESTIGATORS by John Patrick Green (First Second, February 2020)

Mango and Brash are the INVESTIGATORS: sewer-loving agents of S.U.I.T. (Special Undercover Investigation Teams) and scourge of supervillains everywhere!

With their Very Exciting Spy Technology and their tried-and-true, toilet-based travel techniques, the InvestiGators are undercover and on the case! And on their first mission together, they have not one but two mysteries to solve! Can Mango and Brash uncover the clues, crack their cases, and corral the crooks―or will the criminals wriggle out of their grasp?

Select praise for INVESTIGATORS:

  • New York Times review: "...has heaping helpings of surreal alligator action and wordplay gags to keep new readers bent on solving the mystery."

  • Kirkus review: "With its rampant good-natured goofiness and its unrelenting fizz and pep, this feels like a sugar rush manifested as a graphic novel. Silly and inventive fast-paced fun."

  • Publishers Weekly review: "In high-intensity colors, straightforward panel artwork by Green (Hippopot­a­mister) offers plenty of slapstick gags to Brash and Mango’s tale. Fast-paced fun for the bad pun and dorky joke crowd."

  • School Library Journal review: "Like the heroes of Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man or Captain Underpants, the InvestiGators are bound to resonate with kids."
