What is The Peng and Spanners series by Steve Webb about?
Written from 2024 onwards, Steve Webb’s Peng and Spanners is a brightly illustrated graphic-novel series about two unlikely school-age superheroes: Peng, a sarcastic, impulsive penguin, and Spanners, a clever cat with a tool belt. Their adventures progress from solving a stolen school-pizza mystery to tackling a criminal mastermind pig, a haunted stately home and a swamp monster, then an invention-convention caper. Fast-paced chapters, visual jokes and absurd dialogue suit readers aged about 7–10, especially comic fans and reluctant readers. Expect cartoon peril, crime, mild rude humour and no lasting harm.
