About this audiobook

Help! Just before the science fair, a set of magic potions disappear from Luna's locker! The Chicagoland Detective Agency takes up the young witch's case. If Raf, Megan, and Raf's talking dog Bradley can handle space aliens, mummies, and ghosts, this case is child's play!



But when a potion goes awry and a hooded stalker and a wannabe master criminal intervene, the case takes a wild turn into a full-blown catastrophe. Will love-smitten supersleuth Megan and jet-pack inventor Raf be able to straighten out this mess in time? Or will Bradley's nose save the day once more?

    For younger tweens. Loved the talking dog! Not enough dogs talk like Sam Spade - just saying.

    I was very disappointed in this, the art is engaging and the story idea quite clever but the writing was so juvenile and stilted, it felt like an adult trying to "talk" the way they think kids do and for me it came across as vaguely insulting. I realize I'm not the age group this was aimed at but it felt like it was talking down and over simplifying things. Again the art is amazing, I love the idea of a Chicago setting and there are good story ideas and potential here, sadly it was just never fully realized. Hopefully future books in the series improve and this is just a case of an author having to force to much of the exposition of the world into a short book.

    Megan Yamamura is 13 year-old, vegetarian, haiku-spouting, manga fan. She is dismayed when she begins the term at a new school, and all the other students are so boring that something sinister must be afoot. I loved Megan from the start. Her haikus are the high point of the book. Her friend, Raf Hernandez, seems like a great character as well. I hope he is developed more in the next book.The art is utterly fantastic. It's simple, but very expressive. It falls somewhere between traditional American comic art and manga.As a bonus, it's set in Chicago! I loved seeing the Chicago sky line and the el in the background!I'd recommend this to any young adult comic fans, especially those who enjoy manga.

    A romp of a book (appropriate for ages ten and up) that explains the beginning of the Chicagoland Detective Agency, which is run by a talking dog--his story is great--and his assistants, a computer whiz kid and a haiku writing vegan. This comic is great fun and I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Page Tyler's artwork is somewhere between Manga and Western style comics and is perfect for the targeted demographic.

    This graphic novel for kids 9-12 was a quick read for me and I can see it being a fun read for kids. This is something I think that my niece, who’s in elementary school, would get a kick out of reading. It was quirky and silly from beginning to end and it was easy to follow what was going on. The haiku writing teenager was a different twist as haiku’s showed up in different forms throughout the story. Having a genius kid as a best friend never hurts a story and who can resist a plot that contains a sweet and furry dog in it’s midst as well.As it is the first story that shows us how the detective agency is born, I can see that there could ultimately be many more volumes of this series to come. An author has a lot of room to move when a detective agency is at the base of the storyline…anything could happen. This is a great book for those reluctant readers that still want picture books or short stories but are making the transition over to more complex stories.
