Captain Coconut and the Case of the Missing Bananas

Amusement abounds in this non-sequitur-filled adventure that’s a mix of noir detective novel and psychedelic cartoon. You can’t get much weirder than Captain Coconut’s method of mystery solving or wackier than the graphic-novel-like illustrations filled with color, humor, and sly details. Clever kids are sure to laugh and hope for more books featuring this turban-clad detective. Ages six and up.
