Another hilarious and delightful story about two friends who get up to some time-capers.

Hoot visits Bentley and then decides they need to go back in time to see what "real" P.I.s were like, and then when aliens visited earth, and then traveled through Victorian London, and more! The puns come fast and quick and the artwork is fantastic. I enjoy this series so much and can't wait for my kids to read it once it comes out. They enjoy Cat Ninja and I love the tie in to the series at the end. Love these books!

Graphic Novel
I received an electronic ARC from Andrews McMeel Publishing through Edelweiss+.
Hoot and Bentley are back for more adventures. The book is broken into chapters and each takes our superheroes to a new location in time. The detailed artwork captures the characters and the mysteries to be solved. From a Speakeasy in the Roaring Twenties to aliens at Roswell to helping Conan Doyle locate a missing manuscript, the two friends leap through time and help those who need it.
