"I have a 9yo autistic son and reading isn’t his strength. I have purchased numerous books to spark his interest. <br/>Not only did he LOVE them he even talked to me for over an hour telling me all about the characters and every time he got to a funny part he would dash out of his room and share it with me. This is such a cute mystery series appropriate for middle grade that has tons of funny characters that hooks any child’s imagination. Plus the comics were impeccably drawn out. This series made a mom cry tears of joy because I finally found books my son enjoys! <br/><br/>Author Q&A<br/><br/>Q. Will there be a fourth book? If so, what can we expect next from the Investigators?<br/><br/>A. There will! It’s called “Ants in Our P.A.N.T.S.”, and in it the InvestiGators face some new and old foes as they try on a new crime-solving technique called P.A.N.T.S. It will be their biggest adventure yet!"
"First off, I am an adult, so I know I am not the target audience for this book, but I did rather enjoy Green's "Kitten Construction Company" so I was thrilled to get an ARC of this one.<br/><br/>The Cover: Awesome and eye-catching and sure to float right into hands.<br/><br/>The illustrations: Also awesome. Great appeal and funny visuals.<br/><br/>The text: Here's where it lost me to be honest. There was far too much puns, quips, etc. that it just seems a bit chaotic. This will not be a series that I will continue reading by any means.<br/><br/>That being said, I am passing this into the hands of a kid to get a youth perspective. I'm looking forward to his thoughts on whether this is something a child will actually enjoy (and I'm sure that it will be a hit for him).<br/><br/>UPDATE: The kid I had read this absolutely LOVED IT! He has insisted we have it in the library and we certainly shall!"
