Immensely, cheerily silly
Guardian
A thunderously good read, so funny and action packed. I loved that it was fast paced and packed with wonderfully weird, out of this world characters brilliantly drawn. Children are going to love it!
Serena Patel, author of ANISHA, ACCIDENTAL DETECTIVE
SPACE DETECTIVES immerses you into an AMAZINGLY FUN galaxy of aliens, mystery, intrigue and has more twists than a puff pastry cheese twisty! Connor and Ethan are a ZILLION times better than Sherlock Holmes AND they have a sense of humour that is OUT OF THIS WORLD...watch out for the Snarltoothed Grizloid though!
