Peng and Spanners are back in a story full of . . . RADIOACTIVE ICE CREAM! MYSTERY! SUBMARINES! AND A TERRIFYING SWAMP THING! Starring Peng, the sarcastic penguin, and Spanners, a clever cat with a tool belt.

When a stately home becomes haunted by a swamp monster (who seems to love kidnapping cows), Peng and Spanners are called in to unblock the mystery.

Luckily, robot dog Secret Business is prepared to hang out in a miniature submarine and snoop on anyone who is causing mischief. Meanwhile Peng and Spanners interview suspects, debate everything, and of course try to get their hands on more pizza . . .

Perfect for fans of Dogman and Bunny vs Monkey, this highly illustrated graphic novel series will keep kids laughing for hours on end.

What kids are saying:
'Peng is really brainless. He made me laugh so much.'
'Crazy.'
'Really cool.'
And parents!
'My son read it in two sittings and loved it.'
'My 9 year old loved this.'
