This second adventure (The Ministry of SUITs) finds Jack--operative for Northern Ireland's top-secret Ministry of Strange, Unusual, and Impossible Things--and "business partner" Trudy up against zany new challenges, including monstrous crabs and exploding bath products. Again employing clever storytelling techniques (footnotes and excerpts from the SUITs handbook), the series should continue to appeal to readers who like frenetic action.

In Northern Ireland, new recruits Jack and Trudy use their insatiable curiosity to further the mission of the Ministry of Strange, Unusual, and Impossible Things. Silliness abounds as the story--which integrates (not always smoothly) humorous footnotes and S.U.I.T.s Handbook excerpts--unfolds in wacky capers involving pirates and missing Belfast kids. Readers tolerant of a frenetic pace will relish the adventure's quirky, clever humor.
