About this book
Mango and Brash are top alligator detectives – aka ‘InvestiGators’ – working for the Special Undercover Investigation Team. Champion crime-fighters, they’re the first to be called upon whenever a mystery needs to be solved, large or small…
Today, the duo are excited to have a new gadget: the G.R.I.D. – the ‘Gator Reasoning, Enquiry and Deduction’ device. Inputting all the possible clues into the G.R.I.D. at the crime scene enables the Gators – and the reader – to have a quick-view summary of everything they’ve found, helping to make connections and identify the crime’s culprit.
They’re eager to get to work – and they are definitely going to need it with six different cases to handle in this book, from the ‘The Missing Mayo Mystery’ to ‘The Electric Enigma Encounter’.
This fun, colour graphic novel is packed full of puns, silliness and action. There are lots of brilliant InvestiGators books but ‘Case Files’ is a little bit different: not only is it a collection of six short stories, readers are encouraged to get involved with the mystery and piece together the clues to see if they can beat the Gators and solve the cases first. Accessible and appealing to a wide range of ages and readers.
