Publisher Description
Teddy Fitzroy’s back for another zoo mystery—this time it’s a koala caper—in this action-packed follow-up to Belly Up, which Kirkus Reviews called “great fun.”
School troublemaker Vance Jessup thinks Teddy Fitzroy’s home at FunJungle, a state-of-the-art zoo and theme park, is the perfect place for a cruel prank. Vance bullies Teddy into his scheme, but the plan goes terribly awry.
Teddy sneaks into the koala exhibit to hide out until the chaos dies down. But when the koala goes missing, Teddy is the only person caught on camera entering and exiting the exhibit.
Teddy didn’t commit the crime—but if he can’t find the real culprit, he’ll be sent to juvie as a convicted koala-napper.

“A playful musical introductionsets the tone for Gibson Frazier’s enthusiastic narration of this comical caper…Frazierconjures Teddy’s moments of excitement and dread with a high-energy pace dottedwith suddenly deflated enthusiasm. Large Marge’s booming, grating voicehumorously reveals her bossy character while more sentimental moments aredelivered in softer, gentler tones. Frazier’s fine storytelling and a solidstory convey the chaos in the zoo, making for an entertaining listen.”

Quotes
-
"[A] whopper of a whodunit that delivers plenty of suspects, action, slapstick, gross bodily functions, red herrings, and animal trivia. This sequel stands alone nicely, and while the mystery is solved at the end, new occurrences promise to make Teddy’s life much more interesting in a possible third book.”
— School Library Journal -
“Gibbs’ clever plot, zoo setting, and likeable characters combine to produce a lively caper full of fast-paced twists and turns and red herrings (not to mention sharks, chimps, tiger cubs, and snakes)."
— Booklist -
“This thrill-ride of a mystery is chock-full of hijinks for middle-grade sleuths and budding zoologists alike.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
"[A] genuinely engaging mystery set in a zoo…This will appeal to animal and mystery lovers alike.”
