SPY PENGUINS

In this third installment of Hay’s Spy Penguins series, Jackson and Quigley continue to try to prove that they should be hired by the FBI—the Frosty Bureau of Investigation. After hearing about a prison escapee on their radio transmitter, the duo sets out to track him down only to get derailed when Jackson’s sick mother asks him to compete in the Rookeryville Golden Egg Games with his unhatched sibling, the Egg. When a rare sapphire, the trophy, and the Egg go missing, the sleuths are able—with help from a local news crew and a tracking device Quigley put on the Egg—to capture the criminal and find the Egg just in time for it to hatch. Allusions to popular stories like “Snow White” push the plot forward and provide clues to help readers solve the mystery before the young penguins do. A slew of amusing puns—Snow and Tell, webbed-site, bin-ice-ulars—contribute to the book’s lighthearted charm. Cartoonlike black-and-white illustrations appear every few pages, and a short comic inserted in the text explains the origins of the town and the Golden Egg Games. Readers do not need to have read earlier entries in order to enjoy this one. The epilogue sets the series up for a fourth book.

Thanks for reading.
