Critic reviews

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

"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."—Kirkus

"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."—Publisher's Weekly

Best Graphic Novel Audio book - Describes Action

My 8yo loves this series and loves audiobooks. She reads Kindle books from this series every night but rereads the first 2 books more often because she likes to listen to the audiobook while she follows along on the Kindle, frequently reading until she falls asleep.
This isn't a standard audiobook. It doesn't only read the text. It adds descriptions of the action in the graphic novel (modern-day comic book) so even if you don't have the book, you can still understand the flow of the story. It also has unique voices for characters and a great narrative style.
We love it!
