Monocle, a girl floating around in a contact-shaped glass disk with computers and who knew what? Monocle is focused on other things, so Cilantro is on her own。The first problem? The witness doesn't remember what happened。 Sure, it was less to go on than they hoped, but maybe the local sheepherder, Milford, a cat with a large mustache, could help。 I think you'll enjoy this adventure, it's a lot of fun, full of puns and occasional cultural references, and has some surprise "visitors。" Just watch where you step。 The crop circles are pretty important。4/5Thanks to First Second Books, First Second, and NetGalley for the temporary digital preview; any review is voluntary and entirely my own opinion。#InvestiGatorsAgentsofSUIT #NetGalley#John PatrickGreen #John PatrickGreenAuth#ChristopherHastings #ChristopherHastingsAuth#PatLewis#IllusPatLewis#ChildrensChapterBook#MiddleGradeChapterBook#HumurousInvestigatorGraphicNovelSeriesChameleon#HumorousInvestigatorAdventureGraphicNovels#MiddleGradeCartoonStyleComicAdventureGraphicNovels#MiddleGradeAnimalComicsandGraphicNovels#MiddleGradeMysteryDetectiveandSpy#MiddleGradeHumorousComicsandGraphicNovels#CartoonStyleComicAdventureGraphicNovels#ChildrensAnimalComicsandGraphicNovels#ChildrensMysteryDetectiveandSpy#ChildrensHumorousComicsandGraphicNovels 。。。more

Both my sons and I are fans of this series so when I told them we received an ARC copy, they jumped up and down and hugged me to thank me! Then they stole my Ipad and wouldn't let give it back until they were done。 I think we can say it was a success!They say that:- it was a very really good book - it was great to see the other agent for once and the little cameo made them laugh!- they love that they always break the fourth wall- they enjoyed getting to see so many different animals instead of j Both my sons and I are fans of this series so when I told them we received an ARC copy, they jumped up and down and hugged me to thank me!

Kayla,
I loved this graphic novel! There is so much fun word play for both kids and adult readers。 The illustrations are bright and colorful, and I love the overarching message that being yourself is the best path to happiness and success。
Jennifer,
I received an eARC courtesy of First Second via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。I enjoyed this about as much as I expected。 I know kids are going to be thrilled for more books in the InvestiGators universe。For Libraries: If InvestiGators is a hit, you will need this one。
Ag,
My daughter loved, absolutely loved all her InvestiGators books - she has read them all! This one was no different, she loved it。 She was sooo happy, absolutely over the moon, when I gave her my tablet with the book open in it and told her I have a surprise for her。 She laughed out loud, she giggled, and she smiled all while reading it。 I am sure this book will bring so many fun moments to other kids also!

When she was done with the book, I read it also。 The drawings are super nice, the text is fun, this is just the perfect addition to the older investigator series。 Loved it, I loved it also。At the end there are tutorials on how to draw characters from the book – that is a lovely and fun addition! 。。。more
Chris,
This book is amazing。 I read it in one day because I could not put it down。 A part that I liked was that the alligators from the InvestiGator books, Mango and Brash, popped up at the beginning and end of the book。 I also liked that the main character who also works for S。U。I。T。, Cilantro the Chameleon, has a entrance to the HQ of S。U。I。T。 by a telephone booth。 For getting to the jail he enters 5-2-4-5 which spells out J-A-I-L like in Harry Potter when you go into the Ministry of Magic you would This book is amazing。 I read it in one day because I could not put it down。 A part that I liked was that the alligators from the InvestiGator books, Mango and Brash, popped up at the beginning and end of the book。 I also liked that the main character who also works for S。U。I。T。, Cilantro the Chameleon, has a entrance to the HQ of S。U。I。T。 by a telephone booth。 For getting to the jail he enters 5-2-4-5 which spells out J-A-I-L like in Harry Potter when you go into the Ministry of Magic you would also go into a telephone booth and press 6-2-4-4-2 which spells out M-A-G-I-C。 This book is great and if you love the other InvestiGator books then you will love InvestiGators: Agents of S。U。I。T。。This review is based off of Net Galleys advanced reader copy。 。。。more
Aleksandra Tasic,
For those who stand out and those who blend inFor a comic book this is an amazing opening line。 I will write this down in every notebook I own❤️Even though I am well over age expected group for this comic I really enjoyed it。 And so did my six year old daughter。 Additional bonus is the step-by-step tutorial on how to draw the main character。 Big thumbs up for this comic and I will recommend it。 Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for this free eARC。
Larissa,
It is about time that Cilantro gets her own book and gets to be an agent of S。U。I。T。 I really loved the message of this book。 Finding your own way can be hard, especially when everyone thinks that things must be done one way。 Cilantro is just such a fun character who really allows her strengths to shine and when S。U。I。T。 tries to hide them, finds out that just because she does things differently doesn’t mean that it is wrong。 I truly love the messages that this series brings to children, all whi It is about time that Cilantro gets her own book and gets to be an agent of S。U。I。T。 I really loved the message of this book。 Finding your own way can be hard, especially when everyone thinks that things must be done one way。 Cilantro is just such a fun character who really allows her strengths to shine and when S。U。I。T。 tries to hide them, finds out that just because she does things differently doesn’t mean that it is wrong。 I truly love the messages that this series brings to children, all while giving them fun situations that will keep them laughing and engaged。 It doesn’t hurt that Mango and Brash do get to make a couple little cameo appearances in this book as well。 I really hope that Cilantro continues to get her own adventures。 I love reviewing these books they never disappoint。 I have honestly started checking out the entire series from the library to get caught up。 My 3-year-old even loves these books。Thank you so very much to First Second Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title。 。。。more
John Hammond,
Did you miss Cilantro in the recent InvestiGators books? Wonder what she's up to now that she's a secret agent? You have come to the right place!I will give nothing away (which is hard, and you need to read this book right now), but suffice it to say there's sheep, there's bad puns, there's a serious tale about being accepted, and there's a massive twist。Love puns? Love graphic novels? Hate conspiracy theorist tubers on YooToob? Get this book。 Thanks to NetGalley for an advance reading copy, and Did you miss Cilantro in the recent InvestiGators books?

Christine Piepmeier,
The first in a new spinoff from InvestiGators。 Cilantro the Chameleon is assigned on a vague mission to the "sticks。" There are reports of something there (her assigning officer is vague about everything)。 When she gets there, she discovers that crop circles keep randomly appearing and there are sightings of UFOs。 She soon discovers it's just sheep, but then real aliens do show up!I like the characters here, but the writing wasn't my favorite。 I think it did get better as it went on, but the fir The first in a new spinoff from InvestiGators。 Cilantro the Chameleon is assigned on a vague mission to the "sticks。" There are reports of something there (her assigning officer is vague about everything)。 When she gets there, she discovers that crop circles keep randomly appearing and there are sightings of UFOs。 She soon discovers it's just sheep, but then real aliens do show up!I like the characters here, but the writing wasn't my favorite。 I think it did get better as it went on, but the first 1/3 of the book was a little dull for me。I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
