It's the summer break in Shadyside, Queens, and Team Pom's investigation into the mysterious organization called C.A.O.S, and its sinister boss Steve, have hit a dead end. Seeking a bit of inspiration, Roberta, Ruby and Agnes head to the Natural History Museum to spend time with Ruby's aunt, a de-extinction biologist in training who's just stumbled upon a precious sample of Dodo remains. But C.A.O.S. lurks in the shadows with Dodo schemes of their own! Can Team Pom foil Steve's plans in time to save the entire city? Can peanut butter really fight evil? Or is New York City finally going to the birds?

This graphic novel is a little James Bond, a little Wes Anderson, and a lot of fun. Readers will love the larger-than-life characters and the offbeat jokes, brought to life in cool tones with pops of warmer hues, especially orange. * Kirkus Reviews *
Good book alert! Drew and her daughters love biting into a good book together, and The Adventures of Team Pom is a hilarious series they revisit again and again! -- The Drew Barrymore Show Staff * The Drew Barrymore Show *
Resplendent with the most gorgeous mid-century colour scheme, it boasts endearing oddball characters readers will root for and adore, and an off-the-wall story underpinned by a luminous message of teamwork. -- Joanne Owen * LoveReading4Kids *
This volume is even better than the first. The story feels more established, and the characters more realised, but the two volumes together work great as a set. * @comicsvstheworld on Instagram *
The story is light hearted and absolutely whizzes by * @Bedemeister on Twitter *
With both inventiveness and action galore, this second off-the wall adventure, presented in Isabel Roxas's whimsical graphic novel style, will delight those who met Team Pom in their previous adventure as well as winning them plenty of new fans. -- Red Reading Hub
