“Engaging. . . The birds’ exploits are surprisingly believable and enjoyable to follow in Homer’s first-person narration. . . . Who doesn’t love smart, friendly birds on a secret mission?” —Kirkus Reviews
“Chirpy. . . Cole (Brambleheart) richly imbues the narrative with sensory details. . . The expressive b&w pencil illustrations, rendered in panels evoking newspaper comics, heighten drama, tension, and humor.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cole’s gentle animal fantasies can always be depended upon, and this light mystery is just right for young readers. . . . Cole mixes humor with intrigue to keep the narrative bouncing along, and readers will get a kick out of the unusual detective team. . . Hand this to fans of Chris Riddell’s Ottoline and the Yellow Cat (2008) and A. B. Greenfield’s Ra the Mighty: Cat Detective (2018).” —Booklist
