Description
Discover the newest book in this brilliant full-colour, illustrated series. Perfect for reluctant readers aged 6+, and for fans of Bunny vs Monkey, Dog Man and The Investigators.
"Great read, beautifully illustrated" - Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey
"Wonderfully funny, completely bonkers" -Jessica Dettmann, author of There's No Such Book.
The O.D.D. Squad are here for another epic (or maybe just epically silly) ADVENTURE! Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog have a new recruit: Hyperkitty. She's cute! She's unbelievably fast! She also . . . spends a lot of time on her phone? And actually, isn't very good at being part of a team. Or catching bad guys. It's almost like she doesn't want to be part of the world's best (kind of) superhero team.
Everyone needs time to learn to be a superhero, but disasters keep striking. After a particularly wonky incident involving a pig in a hat at a power station (don't ask, OK?), Justice City decides it's had enough: no more O.D.D. Squad! Can the gang save the day - and themselves - before it's too late?
