Joey Fly, Private Eye

Henry Holt Books for Young Readers

Illustrated by Neil Numberman

This graphic novel series just goes to show you: Life in the bug city. It ain’t easy.

Crime invades the lives of innocent every day insects, just trying to put three feet in front of the others. But Joey Fly, Private Eye looks on it as his job to take back the city, one chump at a time. For a price.

Thing is…his newest customer is swat-dead gorgeous and his new assistant just knocked over the bookcase with a tail the size of Brooklyn. So, if Joey can solve this mystery without plucking his own wings in frustration, he’ll be doing good.

“A wowser of a debut…the result has the sweet smell of success written all over it.”
