When rare paintings go missing, the InvestiGators are called on the scene . . . the ART SCENE!
John Green grew up on Long Island and has worked in New York City ever since graduating from School of Visual Arts for Graphic Design in 1997. He was the comics consultant for Disney Adventures magazine, and in addition to Disney has written, illustrated, or otherwise worked on comics for Nickelodeon, Dreamworks, Scholastic, DC Comics, and First Second Books. He is the artist and co-creator of the graphic novels Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden, and Teen Boat!, both with writer Dave Roman. When not drawing comics John creates artwork for video games, such as Emerald City Confidential, Puzzle Bots, and Nearly Departed.
Fast, fabulous, and fantastically funny, the InvestiGators books
are instant classics!
*Jamie Smart, creator of Bunny vs Monkey*
Has heaping helpings of surreal alligator action and wordplay gags
to keep new readers bent on solving the mystery.
*The New York Times*
A hilarious ride with great wordplay, bright illustrations and
plenty of twists and turns – lots to keep young readers engaged.
Keen illustrators will also enjoy Green’s bonus drawing tips to
create their own InvestiGators.
*The Scotsman*
In high-intensity colors, straightforward panel artwork by Green
(Hippopotamister) offers plenty of slapstick gags to Brash and
Mango’s tale. Fast-paced fun for the bad pun and dorky joke
crowd.
*Publisher's Weekly*
Like the heroes of Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man or Captain Underpants, the
Investigators are bound to resonate with kids.
*School Library Journal: XpressReviews*
With its rampant good-natured goofiness and its unrelenting fizz
and pep, this feels like a sugar rush manifested as a graphic
novel. Silly and inventive fast-paced fun.
*Kirkus*
If your young reader is looking for something to fill a
Dogman-shaped hole in their personal libraries, let alligator
investigators Mango and Brash step in. With a detailed comic-strip
format, lots of toilet humour and zany plot lines, you will be
pestered for the sequel before it's published.
*Sunday Business Post (Ireland)*
Brimming over with glorious puns, lashings of toilet humour, and
plenty of references to pop culture, Green’s high-energy, snap,
crackle and pop story will have youngsters snorting and sniggering
from the first appearance of the alligator investigators right
through to their final frenetic flourish. Simply bursting with
youthful energy, crazy comedy, vibrant artwork and breathtaking
creativity, InvestiGators is a visual and verbal delight… and
guaranteed to please even the most reluctant reader!
*Lancashire Post*
This book is going to be big, really big, any class that has it is
going to struggle to keep it on the shelves. It’s perfect for year
3/4 especially those who may be less confident or enthused when it
comes to reading. This book will appeal to all but you can easily
see how it could be a stepping stone for those who struggle to
engage with reading and it may just help them light their reading
fire. 5/5, 10/10, must buy, whatever your rating system is this
book smashes it and is something that should be in all KS2
classrooms as far as I’m concerned.

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 don’t 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 can’t
wait for more books in this series to be released!
*Toppsta review*
pun-heavy whodunnit graphic novel which is just as clearly laid
out, colourful and silly as Dav Pilkey’s phenomenally successful
series. Mango and Brash are an excellent detective duo that readers
will definitely want to see more from…

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 son’s favourite as he was extremely funny.
The book has great design and vibrant colourful pictures. The puns
and jokes are spot on

It’s like a cartoon you can read, the illustrations are so good
it’s like you’re watching them and not reading them at all.
*The Reading Agency*
My son loves this graphic novel and finds it hilarious
*Mini Travellers Blog*
Blooming marvellous. Love how filled with puns and word play these
are. This series is just such fun and they are so popular in
school! When popular art starts going missing, it’s up to the
Investigators to get it back! This made me cackle at times! Can’t
wait for more!
