The Great Vandal Scandal

“A series of break-ins gives the Strathmore apartment building’s animal detectives an exciting new mystery to solve… The nonstop action and droll exchanges offer chuckles aplenty on the way to a tidy resolution made all the more satisfactory by a hilarious viral video and a well-deserved comedown for nasty nemesis Mrs. Hates Dogs on Six. Mottram’s rich, if rare, spots and vignettes feature creatures as aglow with character as the racially diverse human cast. Another wild caper for this winning animal ensemble.” – Kirkus Reviews
