Ducky the Spy: Expect the Unexpected

Laugh-out-loud who-dunnit ridiculousness in this new graphic novel from Sean E Avery. * Trevor Cairney *
Readers will be able to recognise how Avery gets them to laugh so much: the illustrations are wonderful, the dialogue pithy and smart, the characters quite incredible, but very engaging. * Magpies *
A lighthearted, slapstick series starter that’s sure to please * Kirkus Reviews *
Readers new to the clueless-detective routine who enjoy slapstick antics (like Donny’s gassy reactions when scared) will get a laugh out of this barnyard romp * Booklist Review *
