Incognito Mosquito Makes History
by Haas, E.A.
Incognito Mosquito is the world's greatest private investigator, and he just happens to be a bug. In this installment, he turns his attention toward the past, poking his proboscis into famous historical events to set the record straight. The reading experience is fast, silly, and packed with puns that land just as often as the historical gags do. Haas writes with a breezy, tongue-in-cheek style that treats history less like a dusty textbook and more like a crime scene waiting for a punchline. This book is perfect for the reader who likes their mysteries served with a side of absurdity. If you enjoy stories where the protagonist is a bit of a know-it-all but somehow always manages to save the day, you will find a kindred spirit in this tiny, sharp-witted detective.
