InvestiGators

I have a 9yo autistic son and reading isn’t his strength. I have purchased numerous books to spark his interest.
Not only did he LOVE them he even talked to me for over an hour telling me all about the characters and every time he got to a funny part he would dash out of his room and share it with me. This is such a cute mystery series appropriate for middle grade that has tons of funny characters that hooks any child’s imagination. Plus the comics were impeccably drawn out. This series made a mom cry tears of joy because I finally found books my son enjoys!

Author Q&A

Q. Will there be a fourth book? If so, what can we expect next from the Investigators?

A. There will! It’s called “Ants in Our P.A.N.T.S.”, and in it the show more InvestiGators face some new and old foes as they try on a new crime-solving technique called P.A.N.T.S. It will be their biggest adventure yet! show less

This is Saturday night live for Kids.
Silly and inventive fast-paced fun, dumb but clever humor.

Our “InvestiGators” are two alligators who work for an organization that sets out to right the wrongs of the world. They have V.E.S.T.s (Very Exciting Spy Technology) and S.U.I.T.s (Special Undercover Investigator Teams). Their mission takes them to a famous bakery, The Batter Down not to be confused with The Batter Up, where the renowned and famous baker has gone missing along with his secret recipes. Then there’s an explosion at the Science Factory—where a giant cake has just been delivered. Makes you wonder how good these InvestiGators really are. They remind me of The Three Stooges.

Readers are going to enjoy the abundance of show more puns, obvious jokes and toilet humor (literally as they travel the city by flushing themselves through toilets).

There are multiple mysteries to be solved and there is resolution, come the end. The first is our cracked… I mean crack, Investigators, Mango and Brash must find a missing chef. The other is who stole the scientists Thingamabob? Are they connected? Who is the person ordering a cake large enough to hide a dinosaur in (and wears a raincoat on a sunny day)?

Aimed at ages 7 to 10, a younger reader will find the book funny even if they don’t get the jokes.

But for now, I’m going to flip back through the book and smile/laugh at the humor all over again.

There is even a cartoon drawing lesson at the end if you are so inclined. show less

Fast paced graphic novel. Good choice for a reluctant reader. Funny play on words and humor that will appeal to young readers.

Mango and Brash on are a great spy team who have unconventional sleuthing techniques and toilet/sewer based travel. Their adventures will keep middle grade readers laughing.

This book is chock full of jokes. As an adult I found the constant funny to become a bit tiresome. HOWEVER, I can see how a middle grader would gobble this up. Great material for ages 8-10, maybe also for less mature 11 year olds. InvestiGATORS is a non-stop laugh riot that kids will love.

A silly, clever choice for Dogman fans.

4.5 stars - Pages 27-32 were my favourite!
