Goodreads

Best friends Jackson and Quigley desperately want to be FBI (Frosty Bureau of Investigation) agents and are out to prove their value.  Alas the bureau does not hire young penguins and more disturbing, they do not even listen to these two inspired and creative youths.  When fish go missing from an aquarium the buddies make use of Quigley’s tinkering creative talents.   The storyline is more humor than mystery but it is a quick and humorous read.  Black and while sketches enhance the text.

 This reader has a copy with missing pages, the story ended on page 200 with no resolution.  The next 25 pages plus title and index of a young adult book where included within the cover pages.   Certainly this was an accident as student readers will want to read how the friends’  story ends.   Add this to intermediate schools media centers as grade 3-5 students will enjoy the humor, sketches and mystery. Librarians beware, ask if the books available from your distributor are complete.
