Editorial Reviews

"Courage and ingenuity win the day in this story, as do Bradley’s exuberant illustrations." -- School Library Journal

"Special Agent Anonymoose charms as the charismatic, clueless star in this playfully suspenseful spy story... Mixing a hint of danger with a lot of humor, O’Hara and Bradley create a winsome forest-animal spin on traditional espionage tales." --Publishers Weekly on Agent Moose

"Bright colors and clear character drawings make this graphic novel as easy to follow as it is fun to read.... This animal investigator fits right in with Tom Angleberger’s “Inspector Flytrap” and Doreen Cronin’s “Chicken Squad” series." --School Library Journal:Xpress Reviews on Agent Moose

From the Publisher

12/03/2021

Gr 2–4—Agent Moose, aka Anonymoose, meets his parachuting grandma in time to receive a new mission from headquarters. Animals are not only being robbed—they are being intimidated out of naming the perpetrator. Anonymoose, his trusty sidekick Owlfred, and his grandma question victims, dodge traps, and don disguises to discover and foil the mysterious villain. While the premise will entice readers, elements of the book may present challenges. Many characters are verbose, sometimes filling panels with large word balloons, including larger words. References to "James Bond" and "Mission Impossible," while fitting the spy angle, could easily go over young readers' heads. Still, courage and ingenuity win the day in this story, as do Bradley's exuberant illustrations, with unflappable smiling faces on most of the animal characters. VERDICT A spy adventure best experienced with a bigger buddy to help navigate any reading bumps.—Thomas Maluck
