Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop by Brian “Smitty” Smith and Chris Giarrusso

Reveiwed by Helen, Star reviewer

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined underwater sea creatures with crime fighting adventure? Well, wonder no more as Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop takes you on a wild crime-busting ride with his trusty side kick Stariana. The dynamic duo are always on the lookout for bad guys on the watery streets of Caper Cove - all while trying to decide which flavour kelpcakes they’ll buy at Caper Cove’s most popular establishment, Kelpy’s.

However, when Kelpy’s faces danger, Officer Clawsome and Stariana must use all their super sleuthing skills to stop the shady characters at Caper Cod’s most notorious hangout, Clams Casino, from carrying out their evil plans. The villains of Caper Cod are determined, but our heroes are even more determined, especially when it comes to saving Kelpy’s ocean-famous kelpcakes! Did I also mention there’s a GIANT SHARK??

If you love witty puns, colourful characters and delicious kelp cakes, you’ll be clam-bering to read Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop. Even my 10 year old son declared it “the most hilarious graphic novel of all time”. And you never know, there may be further adventures for Officer Clawsome and Stariana in the future……
