About this ebook

Teddy Fitzroy’s back for another zoo mystery—this time it’s a koala caper—in this action-packed follow-up to Belly Up that School Library Journal called a “whopper of a whodunit that delivers plenty of suspects, action, slapstick, gross bodily functions, red herrings, and animal trivia.”

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.

Ratings and reviews

Stuart Gibbs is a WONDERFUL author, this book couldn't of been better.

I love this book! Lots of mystery. Recommend for 9 years of age and up. Lots of detail!

I recommend reading Belly Up before this book but I am only 11 and this is definitely the best book I have ever read!!!!!!(Once again read Belly Up first because you will understand this book a lot better and that makes it much more funnier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
