David Atwell reviewed InvestiGators by John Patrick Green
Review of 'InvestiGators' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The kids were so excited to read this that we put a hold on it at the library before it even came out. I was looking forward to reading it to them, but about the time I realized the author had spent a couple dozen pages setting up a stealth joke about an H.G. Wells book—which no kids would possibly get, and few adults probably would—i found that I had something special and unique on my hands. Just as funny and madcap and surreal as the first, and I'm impressed at how well character depth and development is interwoven in this series.
