Pigs in Planes: the Mega Monkey Mystery
by Paul Cooper
In this third adventure for the Pigs in Planes, Captain Peter Porker and the PIPs are called to Monkey Island to investigate a crime carried out in the National Primate Gallery. The famous and expensive Mona Fleasa painting has gone missing and our heroes are needed to investigate the scene of the crime and somehow get this priceless work of art back before it disappears for ever! As usual, the PIPs will make things worse before they make them better and they bungle things pretty quickly. Despite their mistakes they quickly discover that the theft is more than just a money making scheme as they realise that many of the famous works of art in the gallery are actually fake! Somewhere on the island a dastardly evil doer is swapping copies for the real thing. The PIPs have got there work cut out for them finding out who, especially when Peter finds himself trapped in the enemies base.
This third instalment might not be quite as good as the last one but the PIPs still have a lot of entertainment value. The characters are as ridiculous as ever, in particular Peter, who has developed a liking for tight, red swimming trunks (don’t ask) and whose antics are always borderline insane. The story itself is fun and engaging giving readers plenty of laugh out loud moments with jokes that the targeted age range should find nothing short of hilarious.
The plot is clever and exciting with plenty of both ludicrous and death-defying stunts and ideas. As you’d imagine with this bunch of heroes more will go wrong than right but that just makes things more entertaining so readers had better be ready for plenty of thrills and spills before the PIPs manage to sort themselves and this investigation out!
