Review
In this second book in the series, the Platypus detectives are out to solve a crime. The ostrich Mayor has promoted the building of a new theme park in town. Opening night is a disaster, setting the detectives into action. There is lots going on as they try to solve the crime. There are lots of TV type effects, a popular movie star, a dramatic chase up a steep roller coaster, and lots more happening before the crook is captured. The first book was popular, so this one will probably be as well. Lots of illustrations add to the fun.
Overall Book Score: good
