Swapna Reddy is a dab hand at writing lively, funny, exciting stories for new and developing readers as proved by her Ballet Bunnies, Bad Panda and Dave Pigeon books (the latter written as Swapna Haddow). This new series, a comic but very cleverly plotted crime caper, is certain to win her even more fans.
Reggie Rabbit dreams of being a detective like his hero Detective Fox of Bearburgh city. His classmates at school make fun of his ambitions, and his family aren’t that supportive – except perhaps for wise old Granny Lavender – but a new friend Pipsquark the parakeet, is keen to become his partner, and just might have been witness to the huge carrot heist that’s threatening Reggie’s dad’s vegetable stall.
Told in a mix of text and cartoon strip (illustrations courtesy of Becka Moor), filled with visual jokes, comic situations, and wordplay, and with definite Gotham City vibes, this is bound to hit the spot with young readers. Another treat is crime family the Masques who, despite being guilty as charged, manage to avoid the long arm of Detective Fox and will definitely cause more trouble in Bearburgh. Reggie and Pipsquark will have their work cut out!
Reggie Rabbit wants to be a big-shot detective in Bearburgh City, just like his hero, Detective Fox. His parents have other ideas: they would rather he stayed at home and worked on their vegetable stall.
Read the full description
But when a carrot-snatching crime wave hits the canals, the family stall is in danger of closing. Even worse, the famous Detective Fox won't take the case. Reggie needs to step in, and his best lead is the new parakeet at school, Pipsquark, who has heard rumours of foul (or should that be fowl) play. Can this tiny, fluffy detective brave the big city to crack the case?
