Kids who have graduated from Binky the Cat will be delighted to join another furball on intergalactic adventures." - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books "Obvious work of creative joy. A definite winner in the age of Dog Man. " - Booklist "Ridiculously fun and brilliantly illustrated.”  - Dav Pilkey, creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants "The surprisingly earnest themes of friendship and individual purpose combined with the absurd humor should resonate with this audience of readers." - Horn Book Magazine "[Barnett's] riotous series debut as an adult recalling a 1980s childhood caper...goofy, two-color pictures by Lowery (the Doodle Adventure series) ramp up the silliness of this adventure...which should snare even the most hesitant readers."  - Publishers Weekly "Barnett's knack for both quirky situational humor and heartfelt sentiment work in tandem to create a balanced-while still outrageous-early-chapter-book caper. Lowery's frequent cartoony black, yellow, and blue spot illustrations are integral to the narrative, providing clues to eagle-eyed readers and enhancing the humor."  - The Horn Book "Barnett's series falls squarely in line with works from Jon Scieszka's and Dav Pilkey's oeuvres, offering kids another solid choice for what to read next."  - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books "Funny as a crumpet. (But truly, secretly a hundred times smarter.)" - Jon Scieszka, author of Caldecott Honor The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and the New York Times bestselling series Frank Einstein "With a perfectly absurd premise, dialogue that demands outlandish accents, and a plot that interweaves global history and complete silliness, Barnett royally nails it."  - Abby Hanlon, author of the Dory Fantasmagory series "This short chapter book, with a familiar graphic style from previous volumes, does not disappoint. Highly recommended for fans of the series, this title features more of the wacky humor they have come to expect."  - School Library Journal Praise for  The Impossible Crime  (Mac B., Kid Spy #2): "Barnett opens his casebook again-this time to solve a classic locked-room mystery...Almost every page contains Lowery's illustrations, loosely drawn and garishly colored in green and orange, which give the whole affair a zany feel that is much enhanced by the narrative with its running gags. Kudos to a pint-size Poirot, pre-Mustache!" - Booklist "Barnett's signature dry wit and snappy back-and-forths, particularly between the ingenuously sincere Mac and the standoffish Queen, keep the story steadily moving forward; a convoluted historical account of Colonel Blood's attempted robbery...Lowery's cartoony spot art, in black, green, and orange, provides additional historical and cultural information and frequently supports the narrative."  - The Horn Book "Barnett and Lowery team up again in this second outing of international espionage mystery with royal overtones... this is a ni
