"A colourful and delightful adventure!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A lovely read that will charm the young and young at heart. Beans' determination to recover his hat in spite of the odds thrown against him is endearing, and while life gets him down he's never out of the game for long, which is a great message.

The art is always nice to look at, with lots of appealing colours and a great sense of lighting. You can feel the progression of the day just by the colours used compared to the previous scene. There's lots of fun details, yet the backgrounds never distract from the what the reader is meant to be looking at, so the storytelling remains very clear.

My favourite parts are when Beans is with his best friend, Biscuits. They have a strong friendship and camaraderie and I would love to see more of them together in future stories, which I absolutely look forward to!

Description

In this hilarious full-colour graphic novel, Cat Town's best kitten detective is on the case - of his very own missing hat! Detective Beans is available 24/7* for all your mystery solving and ice-cream taste testing needs. * Except on school days, and after bedtime. Today he's investigating the case of the missing hat. His missing hat. The clues take Beans all over Cat Town. He encounters philosophical pigeons, dodgy street magicians, lounge singers and soup chefs, and even a mysterious trash portal. No one is a match for his crime-solving powers. But will Beans find his hat before Mum is expecting him home for dinner?

Author Biography:

Li Chen was born in Beijing, China, and moved to New Zealand when she was five (with her parents, not as a solo child explorer, I don't think that's allowed). She's always loved drawing and has been working as a full-time comic artist since 2012. Detective Beans and the Case of the Missing Hat is her first graphic novel. When she's not drawing, Li likes to hang out with her cats or go on really long walks. Oh, and she drinks a LOT of tea.
