Brash and Mango are two investi-gators for S.U.I.T. (Special Undercover Investigaion Teams), and they’re hot on a case about a missing baker. Going undercover, they discover some nefarious and humorous characters, but will they be able to rescue the baker and save his secret recipes?

This new graphic novel series will be a hit with fans of Dog Man and the like. The story is fun, there are loads of puns and witty humor, and kids will love it. There are, however, some ethnic stereotypes portrayed for the sake of humor, and it feels unnecessary and inappropriate. Hopefully the subsequent books in the series will not include this aspect as I think the series will be quite popular. Recommended for 3rd grade and up.
