Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.

Nine--along with a robotic partner named FiN--is all that stands between King Crab and his diabolical plans to melt the polar ice caps and build a massive water park. On probation with the Super Secret Spy Service after racking up millions of dollars in property damages, she is granted one last chance to redeem herself.There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors. James Burks has managed to capture the nature of those who are constantly on the go, making impulsive decisions and striving for the top spots. Although it's standard graphic novel fare, Agent 9 is still sure to be a hit with the MG graphic novel crowd. Agent 9 and their robot fish partner Fin beg for one more chance to prove themselves and be officially taken off probation. A joyous and charming book - entertaining and witty, this will have so many fans in school and will get passed around class with great delight.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example.Trainee spy Agent 9 (a sharp-suited tabby cat) has a tendency to use extreme measures when fighting crime for top-secret organisation S4. But if you have a library full of kids who loved Investigators, they are going to love this one too. When super villain King Crab overwhelms the super spy service, there’s nobody but Agent9 to step into the breach. His other published works include Gabby and Gator (Yen Press), Beep and Bah (Carolrhoda), Pigs and a Blanket (Disney/Hyperion), and When Pigs Fly (Disney/Hyperion). Then, however, Agent 9 has the chance complete the most important mission of all; stopping King Crab from flooding the world.

King Crab wants to not only to infiltrate S4, but also to melt the ice caps, flood the entire globe - creating "Flood-a-Geddon", and build a worldwide water park. It seems that King Crab’s determined to melt the polar ice caps to create a mega global water theme park! Can Agent 9 prove to be the right cat for the job by overcoming impulsive behavior and saving the world from a complete flood-a-geddon ? I’ve never read any of James Brooks Bird and Squirrel comics, but if Agent 9 has shown me anything it's that this author clearly has talent in creating fun stories that will definitely enchant kids and even bring out a smile to adults who are kids at heart.

Recent escapades include using a cargo ship to stop an armoured truck and deliberately causing an avalanche to stop a diamond smuggling operation. The main character, Agent 9, never seems to learn from past mistakes, making them much less endearing, but the supervillain's lines were good for some chuckles. Not only are the graphics crisp, dramatic and exciting, but the storyline and characters very funny. James is also a published author who has written and illustrated numerous books for kids, including his long-running seven-book graphic novel series Bird and Squirrel, published by Scholastic/Graphix, which has been translated into Czech, Spanish, French, Castilian, Chinese, and even Farsi (the pirated edition in Iran).
