On an island crawling with crime, everyone's a suspect. Luckily, its resident sloth can solve crimes in her sleep (and often does!). Meet Paz, the world's first sloth sleuth. She may be slow . . . but she's always one step ahead of the bad guys. This hilarious graphic novel mystery is perfect for fans of The Bad Guys and Investigators.

Pssst . . . hey, you! Welcome to Winklefuss. Don't get too comfortable—this tropical paradise is crawling with criminals. Luckily, Paz, the world's smartest sloth detective, lives here, too! She can solve the toughest crimes in her sleep (and often does).

A mysterious illness is striking the customers of Cookie's Diner. Could it be something they ate? (Spoiler alert: It is.)

As she investigates, Paz fills her fanny pack with clues. But who's the culprit? Is it Mayor McSqueak, who was caught breaking into the diner? Is it Lacie Flamingo, fired after messing up orders? Is it Louie the Shark, who works for the toughest crime boss this side of the Bermuda Triangle (a fish in a bag)? Well, kid, you'll just have to read the book to find out!

      Grades 3-6 Winklefuss is an island heavily populated by criminals in hideout. It's a shady cast of characters, including T-Baggs, a mafia boss goldfish; Lacie, a surfer-dudette flamingo; and Jet, a snake who fights with the sock puppet on his own tail. When the customers of Cookie's Diner start falling ill with itchy knees and spotted tongues, it's clear someone is poisoning them, so local sloth sleuth Paz and Librarian Andrews step up to investigate, gathering clues with help from a narrator called "The Shadow." The creator of Kung Pao Chicken has yet again created an action-packed and joke-fueled adventure full of nutty oddballs. With chuckles at the foreground--including an ongoing joke of how many ways the sloth can gain reckless speed (cue skateboards, jet packs, and hang gliders) when she's not grudge-racing a snail--the mystery takes a back seat to the laughs but is still ultimately satisfying. And the artwork is packed with visual punchlines as well; honestly, who doesn't want to see a sloth with a fanny pack on a bouncy ball? Pitch-perfect for the Dog Man set.
