From the international bestselling creator of Claude, comes a brand new hero – Mr Penguin, adventurer and penguin.
Indiana Jones meets Hercule Poirot in this new Alex T. Smith series with plenty of slapstick humour, mystery and adventure. Highly illustrated throughout with a striking black and orange design.
It has been weeks since Mr Penguin’s last adventure and he’s been stuck at his desk, twiddling his flippers ever since. That is until the phone rings!
Mr Penguin and Colin (a spider and Mr Penguin’s silent right hand man) are called in to find the missing treasure somewhere in the Museum of Extraordinary Objects. The quest finds them solving secret codes, fighting ferocious beasts, eating fish finger sandwiches and travelling deep below the museum to a lost jungle…

It is fiction
I like Collin
I like how Mr penguin cares so much about fish finger sandwiches
But he has to give it to a crocodile
This book was good and it was fun and funny
It was quite creepy when Mr Penguin figured out that they were actually the brother thieves that had broken out of prison with only a few spoons. But I still enjoyed the book
I thought the book was amazing because the characters where great and the story was about when an old museum had been robbed and mr penguin had to try and catch them i thought it was great and more people should love it
Tells you about his adventure to find the missing treasure.
I like Colin best because he is a super brave spider. I also like Gordon because he is a funny pigeon.
I would recommend the book to other people, as it is funny!
This book was very fun to read as it was full of adventure and funny characters. I enjoyed it because the settings were very mysterious and there was lots of surprises in between. This book is amazing for people who love adventure stories.

It was funny.
This book is the best out of the series. I loved the excitement and adventures that Mr Penguin gets up to. He is so funny but dumb at the same time!
Friendship and adventures, my favourite mix.
Ha what a plot, I mean I would never of able to solve this cunning misery!
I've read previous books by this author so I was interested to see this series in my local library and give it a go.
This book contains adventure, determination mystery and a huge plot twist near the end. In this book, characters are totally unpredictable which make them funny and makes you more likely come across a cliffhanger. My favourite parts are when Collin the spider did kung-fu kicks, I found it hilarious.
it was not what i was expecting, fun , i would it again
I would recommend this book!
Please read on….
If you’re in Aventura you must read this it’s about a penguin and his friends goes on an adventure I rate it 4 out of 5 it is a very good Book
I liked Mr Penguin's pet spider because he is Mr Penguin's launch pad when he's about to solve a mystery. This is a good story and is easy to read. If you like this then try Toto the Ninja Cat by Demot O'Leary
The book was interesting and funny. My favourite part was when Mr. Penguin got to eat his fish finger sandwich.
It was a fiction book and I like Colin best. I would recommend this book to children aga 7-10.
I rate 5 stars because is a mystery and when is solved you find it really confusing.
crimey
It was very adventurous.
I liked the adventure and the twists and turns when nice people become bad people
I like the secret jungle that's underneath the museum!
I thought that this book was really funny. You see, I like books with lots of action and adventure and thrill and this book has all of it. Mr penguin is sometimes a bit dumb but he is also very good at focusing on what he is doing.
A very good book. I enjoyed it.
