Tank & Fizz: The Case of the Battling Bots

Gr 3–5—Tank & Fizz are young goblins that love to solve crime (think Sherlock Holmes and Watson as monsters). While investigating corruption at the annual Battle Bot Cup, a wicked villain named The Codex threatens to take over all of the technology in Rockfall Mountain. Through their investigating skills (and a little bit of luck), Tank & Fizz do everything they can to stop The Codex and save their town. Comic book panels and splash pages are used with dramatic effect whenever there is action and adventure. The friendship between the two will be relatable to young readers. Rockfall Mountain's focus on technology make this a nice addition to STEM collections. Young readers will enjoy this story without having read the other story in the series. This is a great blend of mystery and fantasy that will have kids clamoring for more.
