K-Gr 2—Egocentric Eduardo considers himself the star pupil of the F.B.I. (the Fairy-Tale Bureau of Investigation.) Cocksure of his elite capabilities and confident he needs no assistance, he grabs greedily at a special assignment guarding Mary from a trio of villains. Unaware this is a sting aimed at his attitude, he quickly discovers this is no solo sinecure—he needs help! Cartoony illustrations accompany the amusing dialogue (encapsulated in comic-strip 'balloons') as Eduardo struggles to guard and protect a strong-minded Mary, and learns the benefits of cooperation.
VERDICT A strong plea for teamwork and assistance, Eduardo and the F.B.I. Gang will appeal to readers not yet ready for The Avengers.
