InvestiGators

In their first adventure, the crime-fighting duo go undercover in a bakery. With a moustache and a rolling pin, they investigate the kidnapping of top chef Gustavo and try to stop his recipes falling into the wrong hands.

Investigators: Take the Plunge

The city faces a new wave of trouble as three villains strike. Crackerdile returns, a robo-ghost haunts the streets, and another threat appears with a snake arm, followed by an actual wave.

InvestiGators: Off the Hook

Crackerdile and Hookline and Slinker escape and return with more schemes, including a bank robbery, a secret lair and a giant chicken kidnapping. Mango and Brash pursue them using their Very Exciting Spy Technology (V. E. S. T. s).

InvestiGators: Ants in Our P. A. N. T. S.

With Brash out of action after being swallowed by a giant waffle, Mango teams up with Robo-Brash. Trouble escalates as the city is overrun by giant ants, an evil astronaut and a rampaging triceratops.

When paintings vanish from the museum, Mango and Brash are called in to investigate the “art scene”. With celebrities arriving on the red carpet, Mango must sharpen his painting skills to expose a villain who has mastered the art of crime.

InvestiGators: All Tide Up

A cruise ship captain is found drifting at sea, sparking a search for the missing ship and passengers. Mango and Brash race to unravel what happened, with questions of sinking, boat-napping and possible supernatural forces.

InvestiGators: Class Action

Mango and Brash return to school to go undercover as pupils. When classroom chaos erupts, they investigate who is targeting Bucky, the mascot at Mango’s old school, and try to crack the case before Bucky is taken.

InvestiGators: Case Files [Hardcover]

Mango and Brash ask readers to help crack the case using the G. R. I. D., a tool for gathering evidence and clues. With prompts in each chapter, readers can make deductions alongside the InvestiGators as they work through cases big and small, featuring familiar faces from past investigations.
