Review:
Jake G. Panda is a savvy
detective. He lives at the Last Resort hotel which is home to a lot of
interesting and endangered animals. Jake has a cynical side but being a detective
is what he does best. Jake gets a phone call from his good friend the Professor,
a Lisped hare who lives at the hotel but is traveling in Morocco. When the
phone call is abruptly interrupted Jake feels something is wrong and flies to
find the Professor. Once the Professor is found they bring with them a tattered
suitcase they find in the desert. Unfortunately for them, the suitcase is being
sought after by others. Jake’s new found enemies include rats, salamanders and
crocodiles to name few. With Jakes know how and the help of a few friends this
mystery can be solved with a few twists and surprises.
This detective mystery is written
in noir fashion. It’s script like read may be tough for younger readers.
Readers who are fans of a good and humorous tale will more than likely enjoy
the characters. The endangered animal aspect of the story is engaging and
readers may find themselves doing a bit of research on their own. Parents and
teachers may want to start a discussion about animals and our changing environment
and how they can help.
