Inspector Flytrap

By: Tom Angleberger, Cece Bell - Illustrator

Narrated by: Mark Turetsky

From Tom Angleberger, creator of the New York Times best-selling Origami Yoda series, comes the start to a funny and clever chapter book series about a mystery-solving Venus flytrap. Inspector Flytrap in the Da Vinci Cold introduces kids to the humorous and wacky world of Inspector Flytrap's Detective Agency, home to the world-renowned solver of Big Deal mysteries. The plant detective works tirelessly with his assistant, Nina the Goat, on his community's unsolved cases. There's no case too big, but there are definitely cases too small for this endearingly self-important plant detective.

Celebrating the disabled yet enabled, the character of Inspector Flytrap is wheeled everywhere (on a skateboard, of course) by his goat sidekick as this mystery-solving duo works on cases such as "The Big Deal Mystery of the Stinky Cookies" and "The Big Deal Mystery of the Missing Rose".

On his first caper, Inspector Flytrap heads to the Art Museum's secret lab to discover what important message lies in a mysterious glob on a recently discovered Da Vinci flower painting. The ingenious solution: Da Vinci was allergic to flowers, and the glob is, er, evidence of that ancient sneeze. Combining wacky humor and a silly cast of characters with adventure, friendship, and mystery, Tom Angleberger has created a uniquely engaging series that is perfect for fans of Ricky Ricotta, Captain Underpants, and the Galaxy Zack series.

The story could have been a lot better written.
It is almost liked a child have written this book.
