Summary

"Great read, beautifully illustrated" - Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey

"Wonderfully funny, completely bonkers" -Jessica Dettmann, author of There's No Such Book.

The O.D.D. Squad are BACK! And this time, they're even more amazing (well, amazingly rubbish) than ever. Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog are the most feared crime-fighters ever to roam Justice CIty. They're a bit of a strange gang, but by heck they get the job done. Most of the time. And only so long as the criminals they're facing are useless.

But unfortunately for them, their nemesis in this adventure really ISN'T useless. In fact, she's kind of an all-powerful sorceress, who goes by the name of Aunty Enchanty. And what's worse than an all-powerful sorceress? How about an all-powerful sorceress determined to wipe Justice City from the face of the Earth, using mega-monsters . . . One of which looks suspiciously familiar.

Can the gang unite to defeat Aunty Enchanty, or is this the end of the O.D.D. Squad?

This brilliant full-colour and illustrated-throughout series is perfect for reluctant readers aged 6+, and for fans of Bunny vs Monkey, Dog Man and The Investigators.

Reviews

Hilarious and anarchic, this series taps perfectly into the child brain.

Vincent Batignole (Illustrator)

Born in the southwest of France, Vincent Batignole grew up surrounded by French comics, colourful anime on TV and his grandparents' collection of true crime books. No wonder he quickly developed a passion for anything cute, scary and geeky!

Trained at the Ecole Pivaut in Nantes, his professional journey started with the comic series 'Gloom Cookie' created by Serena Valentino (Disney's 'Villains' book series) and Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumrin). Since then, he's been illustrating and writing for various international clients, including EPIC!, Capstone and Andrews McMeel, while earning a Master's Degree in cinema history and film analysis.

Vincent now resides near Paris with his dog, Kero, and what's easily one of the biggest collections of manga drawn by CLAMP.
