Praise for the series:

“Ridiculous, absurd, and completely delightful – that’s my five-word review of the first InvestiGators book. I don’t know of any better book to hand to a fan of Dav Pilkey.” —Travis Jonker, 100 Scope Notes (exclusive excerpt)
"…a very entertaining read. The fast-paced tale of a missing baker, a helicopter turned "were-copter," and a vat of radioactive cracker dough has heaping helpings of surreal alligator action and wordplay gags to keep new readers bent on solving the mystery. And the sharp illustration line, color and movement really pop." —Jon Scieszka, The New York Times Book Review
