Weirdly glowing ice cream that gives "brain freeze" a whole new meaning plays a major role in this second Antarctic antic involving self-styled "Secret Agent 00Zero" (real name Jackson) and sidekick tech wiz Secret Agent Q (aka Quigley). The shocking sight of his favorite uncle Bryn Rockflopper and fellow agents of the FBI (Frosty Bureau of Investigation) eating a strange dessert and then waddling off to rob a bank and a jewellery store propels the portly young sleuth into an investigation that leads, with considerable comical ado, into a newly opened ice cream factory's secret lab and the discovery that the frozen treat has a (fortunately temporary) hypnotic effect. Braving a dumpster dive, an ice cream truck chase, repeated bully encounters, and worst of all, a protective mom's wrath, Jackson and Quigley ultimately expose a nefarious scheme. Hay dishes up another lickety split caper, presented in generously leaded lines that share space with frequent views of penguins of diverse species in lab coats or cobbled-together spy gear. Hatchlings with a taste for sweet, uncomplicated mysteries will devour it.

In this hilarious second novel in Sam Hay and Marek Jagucki's action packed illustrated chapter book series, Spy Penguins: The Spy Who Loved Ice Cream , two young adventure-loving and gadget-obsessed penguins must prove their favorite uncle is innocent before the Frosty Bureau of Investigation locks him away forever! Jackson and Quigley were this close to joining the FBI (Frosty Bureau of Investigation), until Jackson's mom found out and they ended up scrubbing seagull poop instead. At least they have Uncle Bryn's birthday party to look forward to. But when they get to the Ice Cream parlor, the FBI agents are acting strange. Instead of talking, Uncle Bryn and his friends just finish their glowing green ice cream, then jump into a waiting ice cream truck and disappear. It's obvious that something has gone very, very wrong, and now Uncle Bryn is suspected of being a master thief! Can Jackson and Quigley solve the case before Uncle Bryn is locked away forever? " Chock full of penguin-themed wordplay ...This light, funny adventure series will appeal to elementary school mystery fans." -- School Library Journal on Spy Penguins
