What does the Pageticker team say about InvestiGators: Off the Hook ?

We love the energetic mix of secret-agent adventure, colourful artwork and wonderfully silly wordplay. Mango and Brash’s teamwork gives the story a warm centre, while the fast pace and cliff-hanger moments keep the pages turning. It is a strong choice for children aged 7–10, though some parents may wish to know that toilet humour, comic peril and lots of visual jokes are central to the fun.
