Dive into a side-splitting InvestiGators adventure in Agents of S.U.I.T.: From Badger to Worse, created by John Patrick Green! Bongo and Marsha, the super-spy Badgers, are on the case - it’s time for the B-Team to show why they’re so un-B lievably B-loved, out now!

Sound the horn & clear the way because John Patrick Green #ChristopherHastings & Pat Lewis’s Agents of S.U.I.T. return for more hilarious super-sleuthing! Macmillan Children's Books Clare Hall-Craggs pamnorfolkblog.blogspot.com Review also Lancashire Post later this week!
