(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Marek Jagucki. The City Aquarium's rare fish are disappearing, and the head keeper is a suspect. Penguins Jackson and Quigley, aspiring FBI (Frosty Bureau of Investigation) agents, find themselves in the middle of the investigation, giving the bird-boys ample opportunities to prove their crime-solving skills and put Q's spy gadgets to use. This humorous, cozy mystery is peppered with plenty of polar-animal puns and black-and-white illustrations.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Marek Jagucki. Mark, the supervillain older brother from O'Hara's My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish series, costars with his vampire kitten, Fang, in this spinoff about his adventures at Evil Scientist Summer Camp. Engaging black-and-white vignettes depict the budding scientists in all their sinister glory--complete with angry eyebrows and pristine lab coats--as a humorous, fast-paced narrative captures camp activities both familiar (competitions) and unconventional (evil-henchmen training).

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Marek Jagucki. With zombie goldfish Frankie, Tom and best friend Pradeep continue to botch their nefarious older brothers' evil plans, including creating an army of evil robots and taking over the world with a monster dino-fish. As usual, this sixth Zombie Goldfish book contains two comical and suspenseful self-contained stories; familiarity with previous volumes isn't required to partake in the fun.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marek Jagucki. It's crucial that Sami takes her fish-sitting job very seriously: Fang, the family's super-sneaky "evil vampire kitten," and Frankie the zombie goldfish don't play nice. Sami fantasizes about how the pets could play together while humorous, slick cartoons demonstrate how that could only lead to trouble. This slight picture-book spinoff of O'Hara's middle-grade series introduces younger kids to the wacky zombified goldfish.
