Summary
Now it’s time for the B-Team to show why they’re so un-B-lievably B-loved。
That’s right， Bongo and Marsha， the super-spy Badgers， are on the case…and way over-budget。 When S。U。I。T。 realizes just how much money the Badgers waste with their gadgets and spy vehicles and custom plush toys， they’re sent to Bora Bora to investigate a case…the old-fashioned way。 The bees—that’s “bee-ee-ee，” like the insect—that run the resort are hiding something under the tropical sands， and Marsha and Bongo are just the bumbling agents to crack this pineapple-flavored case wide open。

I had the pleasure of meeting John Patrick Green at an author event and he was kind enough to sign and dedicate my son's InvestiGators book and we got to take photos with Mango and Brash。 This series is an automatic buy in my house and this latest book of the InvestiGators series is no exception。 From scenes in the city to outer space， to the Antarctic， what better way。 to nurture a love for reading than through funny stories， cool characters， and bright， vivid illustrations。 Many thanks to the I had the pleasure of meeting John Patrick Green at an author event and he was kind enough to sign and dedicate my son's InvestiGators book and we got to take photos with Mango and Brash。 This series is an automatic buy in my house and this latest book of the InvestiGators series is no exception。 From scenes in the city to outer space， to the Antarctic， what better way。 to nurture a love for reading than through funny stories， cool characters， and bright， vivid illustrations。 Many thanks to the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Thank you NetGalley and First Second Book for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review。 I really do enjoy these stories and their puns！ I love that the reference the previous books and mention the Gators as well！I was hoping I would find out more about what's happening with Monocle and the Farm but I guess I'll have to wit to find out more。 Bongo and Marsha are hilarious and this story line was very cute。 I definitely look forward to more from the Gators and more Agents from S。U。I。T！ Thank you NetGalley and First Second Book for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review。 I really do enjoy these stories and their puns！ I love that the reference the previous books and mention the Gators as well！I was hoping I would find out more about what's happening with Monocle and the Farm but I guess I'll have to wit to find out more。 Bongo and Marsha are hilarious and this story line was very cute。 I definitely look forward to more from the Gators and more Agents from S。U。I。T！ 。。。more

Yet again another winner in my son's opinion。 He adores this series， and InvestiGators！ If your kid has read Diary of a Wimpy Kid， or Captain Underpants and you need something else for them: check these books out！ Yet again another winner in my son's opinion。 He adores this series， and InvestiGators！ If your kid has read Diary of a Wimpy Kid， or Captain Underpants and you need something else for them: check these books out！ 。。。more

This was such a cute chapter book and great fun read。 It was really fun to get to read about the adventures of B-team and there was so many fun puns。Thanks to First Second and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book。 All opinions in this review are my own。

A huge thanks to First Second for accepting my NetGalley request to read and review this title。 You've made my kids think I'm untouchably cool。 My little boy gave this 10/10， while my little girl gave it 1000/10。 Unfortunately Goodreads only goes up to 5 stars， but we would have awarded more if possible！A great addition to the Agents of S。U。I。T。 universe。 I loved getting to see more from Bongo and Marsha， who have only ever featured as background characters in the InvestiGators series。 It was an A huge thanks to First Second for accepting my NetGalley request to read and review this title。 You've made my kids think I'm untouchably cool。 My little boy gave this 10/10， while my little girl gave it 1000/10。 Unfortunately Goodreads only goes up to 5 stars， but we would have awarded more if possible！A great addition to the Agents of S。U。I。T。 universe。 I loved getting to see more from Bongo and Marsha， who have only ever featured as background characters in the InvestiGators series。 It was an unexpected surprise that the storyline from the first Agents of S。U。I。T。 book continued in this one， and it certainly kept us turning the pages until the very end。 Bring on book #3。 。。。more

Thank you for NetGalley， John Patrick Green， and First Second publisher for a chance to read this advanced reader copy。My son is the biggest fan of this series and he was ecstatic to see that we had the opportunity to read it in advance。 We thoroughly enjoyed this title and have already preordered our copy。 As always， this book was again written cleverly and there were plenty of funny puns included。 My son was a big sad he has to way until February to get these in his hands。

My son has been a huge fan of the InvestiGators series， and we had read the prior Agents of S。U。I。T。 book。 I was so excited to read this with him。 This book followed the "B Team" of Badgers Marsha and Bongo。 It took them to a tropical island where people's electronics kept disappearing。 Marsha and Bongo worked to solve the case。 My son is 7 years old and loved this book！ It was entertaining for me as well。 I enjoy reading these with him every night before he goes to bed。 This is a great book and My son has been a huge fan of the InvestiGators series， and we had read the prior Agents of S。U。I。T。 book。 I was so excited to read this with him。 This book followed the "B Team" of Badgers Marsha and Bongo。 It took them to a tropical island where people's electronics kept disappearing。 Marsha and Bongo worked to solve the case。 My son is 7 years old and loved this book！ It was entertaining for me as well。 I enjoy reading these with him every night before he goes to bed。 This is a great book and series for anyone who has kids who enjoy graphic novels。 It was simple enough for him to follow， but complex enough of a story for him to stay engaged。 I would highly recommend it to any of my followers who have children。 I look forward to reading any future InvestiGators or Agents of S。U。I。T。 stories with my son！ 。。。more

While not quite as fun or funny as the main Investigators series， this side series is still definitely worth checking out。 Full of terrible puns and silly situations， kids will eat it up just as surely as they do any of the books in the series。 I would like to thank the author， publisher， and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review。

I will be honest of all the Investigators， or Agents of Suit books that I have read this one was my least favorite so far。 Not that it is still not good， it just fell flat in comparison to some of the previous books。 I will say I am excited to see what is happening back in the field though。 That will be an interesting story。 Bongo and Marsha just as agents were okay， they were not super funny， instead they were clumsy and absent minded。 I feel like the characters around them carried the story mo I will be honest of all the Investigators， or Agents of Suit books that I have read this one was my least favorite so far。 Not that it is still not good， it just fell flat in comparison to some of the previous books。 I will say I am excited to see what is happening back in the field though。 That will be an interesting story。 Bongo and Marsha just as agents were okay， they were not super funny， instead they were clumsy and absent minded。 I feel like the characters around them carried the story more then they did at times。 tThank you so much to First Second Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title。 。。。more

Another delightful installment in the world of the InvestiGators。 My 7 year old loves the antics， humor， and artwork; I love the word play that continues to build reading skills and vocab while reading for pure pleasure。 Not going to lie， I laughed out loud myself， a few times too。 The badgers are a duo after my own heart （though I'm glad I'm not footing their bill！）。 Another delightful installment in the world of the InvestiGators。 My 7 year old loves the antics， humor， and artwork; I love the word play that continues to build reading skills and vocab while reading for pure pleasure。 Not going to lie， I laughed out loud myself， a few times too。 The badgers are a duo after my own heart （though I'm glad I'm not footing their bill！）。 。。。more

A hilarious adventure with S。U。I。T。’s B-team， b for badger that is。 As a fan of the original InvestiGators series， I am thrilled to get to see the other characters from the agency get some adventures of their own。 Once again John Patrick Green’s delightfully punny humor is the star of the show。 Bongo and Marsha are delightfully oblivious to the world around them while working the case and this leads to some of the best parts of the story。 Overall a wonderful addition to the InvestiGators univers A hilarious adventure with S。U。I。T。’s B-team， b for badger that is。 As a fan of the original InvestiGators series， I am thrilled to get to see the other characters from the agency get some adventures of their own。 Once again John Patrick Green’s delightfully punny humor is the star of the show。 Bongo and Marsha are delightfully oblivious to the world around them while working the case and this leads to some of the best parts of the story。 Overall a wonderful addition to the InvestiGators universe。 Thank you NetGalley and First Second Books for early access to this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

My daughter and I read this together。 She absolutely loved the book and thought idly was funny and couldn’t get enough of it。 As a parent reading it I wasn’t overly impressed but I’m not the target audience for this。 Overall it’s a great book for younger children into silly spy books。

This was a new addition to the InvestiGators series and followed a lot of the same principles。 Very punny which seems to be the norm for these books， although I will admit that it was less forced and less overwhelming in this story。 Not sure if that was because Green has fewer puns or if it's just that they were better integrated。 Or that I'm getting used to this style and able to see past it to the story behind。 As always， the artwork is consistent with the previous books。 So， bright， colourful This was a new addition to the InvestiGators series and followed a lot of the same principles。 Very punny which seems to be the norm for these books， although I will admit that it was less forced and less overwhelming in this story。 Not sure if that was because Green has fewer puns or if it's just that they were better integrated。 Or that I'm getting used to this style and able to see past it to the story behind。 As always， the artwork is consistent with the previous books。 So， bright， colourful， with solid lines and easy to distinguish characters。 Although I suspect this is for the target age group， it helps me enormously because I have a hard time with graphic novels where the people are all drawn the same or same enough that I get them muddled。The badgers are not my favourite characters。 They just seem a little too selfish and oblivious in some ways for me to truly like them and root for them。 In the first chase， I was thinking it was ridiculous how much they were basically disregarding the consequences of their chase， so I was happy to see that they got brought to task for it。 But if that's my only complaint， then that's not a big deal really。I enjoyed the little clues as to what was going on in both storylines， and I am intrigued to see what happens next。 If you liked the previous InvestiGators， this one won't disappoint。 At all。 And if this is the first volume you're picking up， I think it does a good job of introducing the series without requiring reading the other books。* I received an ARC via NetGalley。 。。。more

More Agents of S。U。I。T。 Adventures！ I love the InvestiGators books， and enjoyed this spin off title set in the same high tech spy world， but following the adventures of the B-team。 Kids of all ages will enjoy this colorful， silly mystery。 The first half of this book did feel a little slower than its counterparts， but the pacing picks up quickly once the badgers are sent on their mission。Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC。
