Platypus Police Squad: The Frog Who Croaked

229 pp. | HarperCollins/Walden Pond | May, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-207164-4 $12.99
(4) 4-6 A missing teacher, synthetic fish, and a history of organized crime culminate in a mystery for rookie Rick Zengo and his cantankerous partner on the Kalamazoo City Platypus Police Squad. With juvenile twists such as the duck-billed cops using boomerangs instead of guns, detective-story clichés and tropes abound in this lighthearted whodunit made even more kid-friendly by the black-and-white cartoons sprinkled throughout.
