Cleo says: "Inspector Flytrap (yes, he’s a venus flytrap who gets around on a skateboard) and his sidekick Nina the Goat are out to become the best detectives in town. So when the Inspector gets a call about some missing paintings, he jumps on the case with a less than enthusiastic Nina in tow. It’s a hilarious, madcap mystery adventure perfect for newly independent readers."

Andrea says: "This is Brendan Wenzel's first picture book and it is simply brilliant. Wenzel is able to communicate the abstract idea of perspective in a simple and often humorous way to which both children and adults can easily relate."

Andrea says: "This is a graphic novel by the creator of Captain Underpants and had me laughing out loud. It is a quick a fun read for any age, and will especially appeal to reluctant readers in elementary school"

Lola says: "Besides the fact that this cover is cool and sparkly, I had read in one of the library magazines that we circulate that this title was a good book with strong female protagonists for the younger set."

Lola says: "A sweet book about the reluctance to start a new school year. I shared this with my adult kids, one of which was starting a new career and one of which was starting a new college year."

Recommended by Holly Raus, Youth Specialist, Cumming Library
Holly says: "The adventures of the four Penderwick sisters are utterly delightful. The girl’s personalities are so well developed and their interdependence as a family is heartwarming. This is the first novel of four in the series and I loved it so much, that I hastened to read the others and the audiobook versions are simply wonderful to listen to as a family."
