Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from picture books to longer stories and needs a high-energy mystery to keep them turning pages. It is perfect for children who are naturally observant or perhaps a bit skeptical of the 'secret lives' of adults at school. This story follows the Super Secret Monster Patrol as they investigate their principal, suspected of being a boss-monster due to some very fishy behavior involving buckets of spaghetti. At its heart, this is a story about collaborative problem solving and the value of looking closer at things that seem scary or strange. The emotional themes focus on the bravery required to follow a trail of clues and the loyalty found in a tight-knit friend group. Designed for readers aged 6 to 9, it uses a mix of comic-style illustrations and fast-paced chapters to build reading stamina without being overwhelming. It is an excellent choice for a reluctant reader who enjoys humor and lighthearted suspense.
