This was loads of fun! 3 stories about pigeons who fight crimes: saving bats, rescuing humans from stink bombs and figuring out why there are no humans in the parks! This will go down really well at school! Pigeons who are masters of disguise? Love it! Brilliantly illustrated and there’s more in this series so sign me up!!

Pretty sure this is going to be hugely popular, especially with the [b:The Bad Guys: Episode 1|25448261|The Bad Guys Episode 1|Aaron Blabey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1430289643l/25448261._SX50_.jpg|45213051] crowd, because this is kind of like a trying-too-hard version of that. It's too long (why not three books if you have three separate plots????), the font isn't my favorite (it's cramped and kind of hard to read sometimes), and the humor didn't really appeal to me (the naked pigeon butt at the end will absolutely get laughs from the target audience, but it just weirded me out). I don't think this will be difficult to sell, though, and I enjoyed the pigeon facts at the end as well as the focus on teamwork throughout all three stories.
