John Patrick Green is a human with the human job of making books about animals with human jobs, notably the smash-hit graphic novel series InvestiGators. John is definitely a multiple New York Times-bestselling human author and not just a bunch of animals in a trench coat pretending to have a human job. With over three million copies of InvestiGators in print, John is a successful human being with only two hands and a normal amount of fur. He lives in a Brooklyn apartment that doesn't allow animals other than the ones living in his head.

Christopher Hastings is a comics writer best known for creating the award-winning Adventures of Dr. McNinja and co-creating The Unbelievable Gwenpool. His other writing credits include Adventure Time, Deadpool, Quantum & Woody, and NYT-bestselling graphic novel adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones. Christopher also voices Frederick de Bonesby for the narrative play podcast Rude Tales of Magic.

Lipica Shah (she/her) is a half Bengali, half Kumaoni, fully Indian-American narrator, actor, and inclusion advocate. A SAG-AFTRA and Actors Equity Association member based in the Bronx, she thrives on collaboration and script development, with a special affinity for new plays. Lipica’s dynamic vocal skills, facility for accents and languages, and love of storytelling led her to audiobooks, and she’s had the privilege of narrating a wide range of genres, though her passion is non-fiction for all ages (especially current events, crime, science, politics, and history). As an actor, she has originated roles at Manhattan Theatre Club, The New Group, Mixed Blood Theatre Company, Cal Shakes, and American Conservatory Theater, among others. On screen she’s appeared on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, HBO, Showtime, USA, Comedy Central, Netflix, and recurring on MAX’s The Girls on the Bus. Hear her in the video game Starfield and English dubs of Pokémon, A Silent Voice, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, and more. As an inclusion advocate, she co-founded the nonprofit 1497, an organization committed to supporting and uplifting artists of South Asian descent and challenging their historical exclusion from and underrepresentation in the American film and television industry. She also serves on the Steering Committee of the Asian American Performers Action Coalition, with whom she received Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre. In her spare time, Lipica enjoys traveling, birdwatching, doing crossword puzzles in pen, lighting one-match campfires, and running for inordinate amounts of time outdoors.

Reviews

"...has heaping helpings of surreal alligator action and wordplay gags to keep new readers bent on solving the mystery." —The New York Times

"With its rampant good-natured goofiness and its unrelenting fizz and pep, this feels like a sugar rush manifested as a graphic novel. Silly and inventive fast-paced fun." —Kirkus

"
In high-intensity colors, straightforward panel artwork by Green (Hippopot­a­mister) offers plenty of slapstick gags to Brash and Mango’s tale. Fast-paced fun for the bad pun and dorky joke crowd." —Publisher's Weekly

"
Like the heroes of Dav Pilkey’s “Dog Man” or “Captain Underpants,” the Investigators are bound to resonate with kids." —School Library Journal: XpressReviews
