In their second adventure (Pigsticks and Harold and the Incredible Journey), self-appointed detective Pigsticks and his hamster sidekick, Harold, race to find a thief on the loose in Tuptown so the annual Butterfly Ball doesn't get canceled. Copious cartoon-style illustrations (frequently including speech bubbles) pair perfectly with a fast-moving text. Short sentences and lots of action make this book ideal for newly independent readers.
