Even worse on top of this crime wave comes. . . an actual wave! A huge flood threatens the city, and the InvestiGators are wrongly blamed for making this big splash. To clear their names Mango and Brash flush themselves down the toilet to find the real culprit! They’ll have to be extra sneaky to solve this mission or they’ll end up in deep water. . .

Reviews

My son loves this graphic novel and finds it hilariousMini Travellers Blog
A hilarious ride with great wordplay, bright illustrations and plenty of twists and turns – lots to keep young readers engaged. Keen illustrators will also enjoy Green’s bonus drawing tips to create their own InvestiGators.Sarah Mallon, The Scotsman
If your young reader is looking for something to fill a Dogman-shaped hole in their personal libraries, let alligator investigators Mango and Brash step in. With a detailed comic-strip format, lots of toilet humour and zany plot lines, you will be pestered for the sequel before it's published.Sara Keating, Sunday Business Post (Ireland)
It’s perfect for year 3/4 especially those who may be less confident or enthused when it comes to reading.Richard Ruddick, https://comicsinclass.school.blog/reviews-from-the-teachers-desk/
