Sewer-loving secret agents Mango and Brash fight for the GATOR good in this zany adventure that will have readers HOOKED!
The InvestiGators are the best crime-fighting duo in the world. But not even their hi-tech training programs can prepare them for the return of their greatest nemesis, Crackerdile, in a shocking new form! Even worse, he’s creating a team of super villains! Faced with the choice between saving themselves or catching the crooks, can Mango and Brash make sure the gator good prevails?
From School Library Journal
Gr 2-5-Alligator spies Mango and Brash are back in this third volume that tackles no-win scenarios and sees the return of nemesis Crackerdile. The InvestiGators are summoned to the Science Factory to investigate the ongoing disappearance of plumber Bill Plungerton and a lab snake. Little do they know that Plungerton and the snake are now evil, dubbing themselves Hook, line, and Slinker, and have teamed up with Crackerdile to form a new group of supervillains. Antics ensue after the villains rob a bank, setting themselves on an eventual crash course with Mango and Brash. Though the narrative is dialogue-heavy at times, the colorful, cartoony artwork, wordplay, and comical misunderstandings will leave kids eager for more. VERDICT: An enjoyable, humorous tale for new and returning series readers, especially those partial to puns.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
