About John Patrick Green

John Patrick Green lives and works in New York City where he makes books and comics about animals with human jobs, notably the smash-hit graphic novel series InvestiGators – and its spin-off Agents of S.U.I.T. He’s worked as a comics consultant for Disney, Nickelodeon and Dreamworks. With over four million copies of InvestiGators – starring Mango and Brash the sewer-dwelling crime busters – in the wild, he also creates artwork for video games. He lives in a flat in Brooklyn that doesn’t allow any pets, or animals, so he has to make do with the ones living in his imagination.

About the Book

Book title: Investigators

Mango and Brash are alligators – who investigate! In their first adventure the crime fighting duo need to go undercover . . . in a bakery?

Armed with a moustache and a rolling pin, the Investigators are on a mission to discover who has kidnapped top chef Gustavo, and stop his recipes from getting into the wrong hands! This case isn’t going to be a piece of cake.

The InvestiGators series is a hit with readers of all ages and covers positive themes like:

  • Fun teamwork
  • Friendship
  • Pesky problem–solving

Book title: Investigators: Weather or Not

The InvestiGators’ latest case is a dairy disaster! The city’s water supply has been replaced with milk and the newest feline agents, the InvestiGatos, don’t seem to be complaining. What’s with the monkey-scientists and why is the rain green?!

All will be revealed in this sticky volume of InvestiGators!
