Bookroo's summary

Detectives Rick Zengo and Corey O’Malley face a puzzling case at the docks: a missing teacher and a bag of illegal fish. As clues lead to the influential Frank Pandini Jr., the duo must overcome their differences to solve the mystery. Can they crack the case before it's too late?

From the publisher

Platypus Police Squad: The Frog Who Croaked is the first in a series of zany, action-packed middle grade mysteries featuring platypus police detectives Rick Zengo and Corey O’Malley. When a call comes in about a crime down at the docks involving a missing schoolteacher and a duffle bag full of illegal fish, Zengo and O’Malley are going to have to learn to set their differences aside if they want to get to the bottom of this. Especially when the clues all point to Frank Pandini Jr., Kallamazoo’s first son and its most powerful, well-respected businessman. Fans of Adam Rex, Jon Scieszka, and Jarrett J. Krosoczka’s own Lunch Lady graphic novels will flip for Jarrett’s series of funny illustrated Platypus Police Squad middle grade novels!–Dav Pilkey, creator of Captain Underpants
