My six year old nephew would not put this book down. As in we had to pry it from his fingers at one point to take a break. According to him, you dont need any sort of learning apps to read, you just need to find the right book. This book has helped him get excited about reading and he definitely has the reading bug now. We cant wait for more books in this series to be released! * Toppsta review *

Absolutely hilarious and fantastic book. Investigators has become a good new series to look out for and we simply can't wait to continue the story. My son and I went through the whole book in one sitting. Mango was my sons favourite as he was extremely funny. The book has great design and vibrant colourful pictures. The puns and jokes are spot on * Toppsta review *
Its like a cartoon you can read, the illustrations are so good its like youre watching them and not reading them at all. -- Yusuf, aged 10 * The Reading Agency *
