An amazing book! I literally could not stop reading it it was so good!

Just everything about the book made it really captivating to read. One of the most unique stories I’ve ever come across. Would 100% recommend this book!

Platypus Police Squad: The Frog Who Croaked

Platypus Police Squad: The Frog Who Croaked

By Jarrett J. Krosoczka

I am a huge fan of the Lunch Lady graphic novels by author Jarrett J. Krosoczka, who wrote this book, Platypus Police Squad: The Ostrich Conspiracy. This book is part story and part drawings, so kids get a nice blend of both and that sometimes helps kids read more. I know I still really like having pictures in my books. First of all, this book is like part mystery and part comedy. Detectives Zengo and O’Malley have a new case: to solve the mystery of what is going on at the scene of a film set and figure out why someone would want to do this. What does movie star Chase Mercy have to do with it, and what is the Mayor hiding? Can the Platypus Police Squad get to the bottom of this? “C’mon kid. We could use a good hot dog after all this.” There are some serous topics talked about in this book about lying, not being honest, and how important it is to take care of the environment because it can seriously affect our soil and water that we drink. I thought it was funny they use boomerangs as their police weapons. This helps keep the violence out of kids’ books. I liked this book and I think it is a book series both boys and girls will really like and read over and over!

The Wig in the Window

The Wig in the Window

By Kristen Kittscher

I really liked this book! It was very devious - just as it led you to believe one thing - it twisted it and said something else. The two main characters were very likeable and funny, and the way how their backyard antics led to something much bigger than themselves really made me laugh and sit on the edge of my seat for more. The code mentioned in the book was very helpful to move the book forward and the main thing that I learned is that nothing is how it seems. Happy reading! ~ Lotte Parker
