What’s it about?
The story.
Bongo and Marsha are badger agents working for S.U.I.T., the same secret organisation behind Mango and Brash. Their mission in From Badger to Worse brings them into the wider world of weird animal crime, strange suspects and ridiculous agency procedures. The book keeps the InvestiGators formula lively while giving new characters room to be funny in their own way: Bongo and Marsha are not just replacement gators, but a new comic pairing with their own dynamic. The humour is broad, punny and visual, with plenty of action beats and panel gags to keep young readers moving through the pages. It works well as a second Agents of S.U.I.T. book, but also as a reasonably accessible entry for readers who already understand the wider InvestiGators-style world of animal agents and silly investigations.
