Review

This is the first title in a great new graphic novel series that junior and middle primary school children will thoroughly enjoy.


We are introduced to Max the mole, Helena the hippo and June the bug, and the world of The Agency - a secret crime fighting organisation.


Max, Helena and June are still in training, and have three chances to pass their test missions to become qualified secret agents.


But to be a good agent, you need to be good at planning. And that is not something that Max is very good at!


Do this unlikely group have what it takes to work together, and think fast enough to defeat the elusive Dr Nude, and then find Eric Goldfishfinger and Toxin, the most poisonous pufferfish, who have both escaped from the maximum-security aquarium?


This is a fast-paced graphic novel, and I am sure readers will be looking forward to more adventures of Max and his friends!
