This story is hilarious, full of jokes, and amusing situations . . . It's 205 colourful pages of action-packed fun. Recommended for school and home libraries. I do hope there will be a sequel.

Through Beans’ escapades and encounters with an array of characters, Chen not only entertains but subtly deconstructs and reimagines traditional elements of detective fiction, turning a serious genre into a comedic and endearing adventure. This refreshing take adds depth to the storyline, making it an engaging read for children aged 7+ and adults alike. For fans of the adventure in the Cat Kid Comic Club series by Dav Pilkey and the crime solving in the InvestiGators series by John Patrick Green.
