What is Toxic takedown about?

When a strange sickness spreads through Wormwood Town, Trixie Pickle suspects there is something toxic in the water. With her best friend Beeks, she investigates the mystery surrounding the town reservoir while battling boring Money Week and the school’s mean girls. Trixie uses ideas inspired by famous artists, including Botticelli, Damien Hirst, Kehinde Wiley, Yayoi Kusama and Hokusai, to fight back. Packed with cartoons, comics and amusing art facts, this is an inventive and funny illustrated adventure.
