Quite a strange little book, but I think it will have silliness appeal. It is a mystery, but has some bathroom humor to go along with it. I found the illustrations fun.

I am sure I have students who will love the absurdist humor of this book, but it was lost on me.

This is a funny little mystery story about a detective in India called upon to solve a case of missing bananas. The illustrations incorporate photos and patterned paper in an appealing way. I'm not sure I would call this a graphic novel, but it definitely has some interesting graphic elements to it. There's not a lot of text and the story is pretty wacky and silly.

Captain Coconut and the Case of the Missing Bananas by Anushka Ravishankar with illustrations by Priya Sundram is a mathematical mystery involving a missing bunch of bananas, done as a comic book with panels made from collages. It feels like it should be part of a series but it's a standalone.
