Remy Sneakers (real name Remington Raccoon) is a collector of things other people may consider trash. When some metal is stolen from the local museum, everyone suspects Remy. It is up to him to clear his name. But he needs help from the other city critters, who don’t’ always get along, to help battle an army of robo-rodents. The simple, short text is accompanied by bold illustrations that help move the story along. The first in a series, this book will be a great addition for fans of graphic novels and beginning chapter book readers.

There has been a break in at the Air & Space museum, and all clues point to Remington Racoon AKA Remy Sneakers as the thief. Remy is out to not only catch the thief, but clear his name, but he must have help from the mice, rats, and pigeons across the city. This is not an easy task getting them to work as a team, but if anyone can pull it off it's Remy Sneakers.

Imagine if you were accused of a crime you didn't commit, simply because you matched the description of the criminal. But Remy Sneakers (Remington Raccoon), knows that he didn't do it and that he is being unjustly labeled as a public enemy. Where can he turn for help? Perhaps the other critters in town will help him look for the real thief. So Remy and his friend Stix visit Mouseville, Rat City, and Pigeon Plaza looking for friends who will believe in his innocence. Meanwhile, the real villain continues the evil plot that started all of Remy's troubles.
A mystery in Scooby-Doo fashion, that is also part buddy story with the unlikely pair of the raccoon and Stix the mouse, and similar to the TMNTs when reporters realize there is a talking raccoon, this story will have readers laughing out loud. Since this is only the first of Remy's adventures, they can stay tuned to see what happens next (cue music for foreshadowing). The illustrations carry the narrative along and express emotions more easily than you would expect on the critters' faces. I'm sure many readers will be drawing their own scenes and creating new villains for Remy to face.
A bit longer than the Scholastic Branches chapter books, Remy Sneakers is on the borderland of graphic novel and heavily illustrated chapter book. Fans of Bad Kitty will want to give this a try.
I read an advance reader copy provided by the publisher for review purposes.

Sherry, Kevin Remy Sneakers vs. the Robo-Rats, 124 pgs. CHAPTER BOOK Scholastic, 2017. $9.99 Content: G.
Remy is a raccoon who likes to collect things, but he makes a point to never steal. So when the city catches a raccoon on camera stealing from a museum, Remy goes about trying to clear his name. He gathers allies in the rats and mice and they track down a toy store owner who is making robotic animals that are committing crimes. Remy and his friends help the police catch him, but it looks like there are more adventures to be had for Remy.
This is a cute chapter book that is mostly illustrations. Some pages only have one sentence and others 2-4 sentences. The illustrations are cute and Remy and his mouse friend, Stix are likable. The ending definitely sets up for the next book with a new mystery ready to be solved.
EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE. Reviewer, C. Peterson.

I loved Kevin Sherry's I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean!, and expected this to be similarly humorous, but for an older audience - newly reading independently.
But there wasn't much to connect with in the characters, nor any unexpected humorous twists, like Sherry managed so artfully in the much shorter picture book.
If it is at exactly the correct reading level for a person, they might get a lot of satisfaction in finishing it, and feel a sense of accomplishment. However, in my mind, there is just not enough here.

An early reader style graphic novel with a simple story and lots of visuals. We read it in a single sitting; there's a hint of a sequel at the end but our library doesn't have it.
Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Written in the style of Bad Guys or the Bad Kitty chapter books, this is a very “graphic“ novel... but not a graphic novel... and not graphic in THAT way!
Kinda weird to me, but I am definitely interested to see what my second grade boys think of it.

A very accessible graphic novel in the guise of a beginning chapter book. Illustrations and themes that kids will enjoy.

Wish this were slightly "easier" in terms of vocabulary/language to make it a little more accessible for younger readers. Fantastic, engaging illustrations.

This elementary graphic novel is not quite easy to read thanks to its rather disjointed, chaotic plot. It's fun and a series starter.

True, the language might be difficult as a transitional chapter book, but the storyline and illustrations are engaging to make it work as a family read-aloud.

Nice, read aloud together. Mix of chapter book and graphic novel.

How will the raccoon inite his friends (mice, rats, pigeons) and figure out who is trying g to frame him for being a thief? Dull of illustrations, almost a graphic novel, but not quite.

This is a wonderful story of friendship and getting along with those that are different! Even adults should read this!

“It’s super good. I like all of it” 😂

This book is a little longer than a typical "branches chapter books", but it's balanced out with lots of illustrations. It a good cross between an early chapter book and a graphic novel. Remy has a great life in the big city. He has a cool collection of stuff he ahas found for free in the city. When he is falsely accused of being a thief, he must clear his name by finding and bringing to light the real thief. To do this, he enlists the help of his city friends... some are more willing to help than others. In the end they band together and catch the thief. Proving that when you band together you can accomplish amazing things. I liked this book, and recommend it for kids 6-8.
