Recommended by Cleo Joyce, Youth Services Supervisor, Sharon Forks Library
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."
