What’s it about?

The story.

The Agents of S.U.I.T. return for another ridiculous mission, this time with a ghostly mystery to investigate. Wild Ghost Chase leans into spooky comic territory while keeping the series' tone light: odd coworkers, absurd procedures, visual gags, fast dialogue and a mystery that feels more funny than frightening. It is part of the wider InvestiGators world, so children who already enjoy Mango and Brash will quickly understand the rhythm: strange animal agents, a big silly case, lots of puns and a plot that moves quickly from one set-piece to the next. The ghost element gives it extra appeal for children who enjoy Halloween-ish stories, but the book stays firmly within low-sensitivity territory. It is especially friendly to reluctant readers who want a full-length book that still feels visual, energetic and joke-packed.

Why it lands

Why they love it.

Why kids love it

The specific kick is ghost-hunting at silly scale — the S.U.I.T. agents on a haunting case, the scares played for laughs, gentle spooky overlaid on the usual pun engine. A seven-year-old curious about ghost stories gets the safest possible version.

  • Animal companions
  • Trickery and cleverness
  • Making a difference
  • Surviving danger

Why parents love it

The Halloween-week S.U.I.T. — ghost premise, gentle spooky energy, none of it actually frightening. Useful spooky-season pick for a child who's loved the InvestiGators-verse but isn't ready for proper horror. Reliable mid-series spin-off.

  • Shared humour
  • Quick to read

He also writes and draws the Kitten Construction Company picture books and the Hippopotister graphic novels.
