Adventures of Bill B & T.Iger
A fantasy graphic novel for middle-grade readers! Writer: Matteo Merenda Cover art sample: Jessica R. Guerra
In the whimsical underground metropolis of Center City—where talking animals run the show and ghostly secrets lurk around every corner—a bilby with a nose for uncovering the truth, a scrappy armadillo photographer with a knack for kung fu, and a sarcastic fire ant with a psychic gift form an unlikely detective trio.
Together, they’ll dare to solve dangerous mysteries for those who literally have no one else to turn to, all while trying to outfox a ruthless mastermind determined to put them out of business—permanently.
Some say Center City is beyond saving. Don't tell that to three unlikely heroes from the wrong side of town who are ready to prove everyone wrong—one case at a time.
- Welcome to a subterranean society teeming with life, charm, and supernatural intrigue. Here, burrowing creatures live, work, and stumble onto mysterious cases that only the boldest (or most foolhardy) dare to solve.
- Meet Bill B, an award-winning journalist whose boundless curiosity and search for the truth is matched only by his big heart, and T.Iger, an armadillo photographer with a razor-sharp wit and an even sharper spinning back kick.
- When their beloved newspaper shuts its doors, the duo is left adrift—until their eccentric former boss hands them a strange key that unlocks a forgotten detective office in the rowdiest corner of the city. It’s there they meet Lulu, a fiery fire ant cursed (or blessed?) with the ability to communicate with the spirit world.
- Their madcap adventures include:
- -- Retrieving a grizzled sea captain’s cursed treasure from Ye Old Mill.
- -- Outsmarting a ruthless rat gang to reclaim a time-bending pocket watch.
- -- Solving a noir poolside whodunit, where a stoat commits the ultimate betrayal.
- -- Clearing Lulu's name in a high-stakes showdown with the infamous Truman Coyote—the only one who can save her from a life sentence.
- Why readers will love this:
- Fans of Lightfall: The Girl and the Galdurian and Enola Holmes will be captivated by Bill B and T.Iger's adventures. Bursting with quirky characters, the story invites readers to solve cases alongside its spirited sleuths—while uncovering the power of perseverance, courage, and the bonds of found family.
