In
this graphic novel two critters from the Elm Tree Elementary are hoping to
solve a mystery. After a field Trip Ray and Q have their wish –a famous
painting –the Mola Lisa has been stolen. They have a list of suspects and that
includes a magician that visited their school that morning. Together they
investigate and enjoy Q’s secret disguises and Ray’s love of stinky cheese.
Bright simple graphic novel illustrations.
I
am always on the lookout for graphic novels for younger readers, but this one
is a big too confusing for them. The disguises are confusing, especially since many of the characters
looked similar as well and I was lost fairly quickly. I probably wouldn’t spend my library
budget to add this book to my collection.
