--more often
--explodes through every hilarious page in this welcome new addition to the spy genre. Burks is at the height of his creative prowess."
--Mike Maihack, creator of the Cleopatra in Space series "A delightful graphic romp. With a blend of thrilling chase scenes and a generous helping of humor, this crowd pleaser should be catnip to fans of series like Aaron Blabey's The Bad Guys. Spy aficionados will find this purr-fect."
--Kirkus on Flood-a-Geddon! "Sure to make readers gasp and giggle. While escapes, explosions, and scribbly, jewel-toned art will no doubt draw in younger readers, Burks' dry humor will also keep a more sophisticated crowd engaged and chuckling. Readers will be sure to keep an eye out for 9's next adventure, but they'll definitely want to give this first romp a few rereads in the meantime."
--BCCB
"Burks delivers an endearing tale about a secret agent character a la James Bond, but much zanier. Fans of Burks' Bird & Squirrel series will gobble up this new offering. [It] will elicit chuckles from young and old readers alike."
--School Library Connection "Hooray, for Agent 9! This is a good old-fashioned spy thriller but with a hero that has a lot of learning to do. And you can believe that this cat may scratch and claw its way into your top picks."
--Elizabeth Bird, Fuse 8, an SLJ Blog "Zippier than a roomful of kittens on catnip, with fast-paced, full-color wordless sequences. This is a fully self-contained adventure with a smile-inducing resolution. A teamwork tale that is the cat's meow"
--Kirkus on Mind Control! "Awesome action-packed spy adventures."
