About This Book
Reach for this book when your child needs a confidence boost through laughter or a bridge into more complex independent reading. High-Rise Hijinks is a high-energy mystery that follows secret agent alligators Mango and Brash as they track down a giant chicken scientist who has literally stolen a bank. Beyond the absurdity, the story emphasizes the importance of collaborative problem solving and staying calm under pressure. It is perfectly tailored for kids aged 7 to 10 who may find traditional prose daunting but are eager for sophisticated, pun-heavy humor.
