Average rating
From the international bestselling creator of Claude, comes a brand new hero – Mr Penguin, adventurer and penguin.
Indiana Jones meets Hercule Poirot in this new Alex T. Smith series with plenty of slapstick humour, mystery and adventure. Highly illustrated throughout with a striking black and orange design.
It has been weeks since Mr Penguin’s last adventure and he’s been stuck at his desk, twiddling his flippers ever since. That is until the phone rings!
Mr Penguin and Colin (a spider and Mr Penguin’s silent right hand man) are called in to find the missing treasure somewhere in the Museum of Extraordinary Objects. The quest finds them solving secret codes, fighting ferocious beasts, eating fish finger sandwiches and travelling deep below the museum to a lost jungle…

It was a great fiction story. I liked Mr Penguin & Colin. I enjoyed that Mr Penguin found the museum's treasure, it was the key that made objects not float around.

I've read previous books by this author so I was interested to see this series in my local library and give it a go. This book contains adventure, determination mystery and a huge plot twist near the end. In this book, characters are totally unpredictable which make them funny and makes you more likely come across a cliffhanger. My favourite parts are when Collin the spider did kung-fu kicks, I found it hilarious.

I liked Mr Penguin's pet spider because he is Mr Penguin's launch pad when he's about to solve a mystery. This is a good story and is easy to read. If you like this then try Toto the Ninja Cat by Demot O'Leary

The book was interesting and funny. My favourite part was when Mr. Penguin got to eat his fish finger sandwich. It was a fiction book and I like Colin best. I would recommend this book to children aga 7-10.
