Publisher's summary

Twelve-year-old Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Fitzroy has murder on his hands and trouble on his tail. He believes that Henry, the hippopotamus at the brand-new FunJungle, has been murdered. The zoo’s top brass claim the hippo went belly up the natural way, but Teddy and his feisty friend Summer McCraken have other ideas. Could the culprit be FunJungle’s animal-hating head of operations? Or is it FunJungle’s owner - Summer’s dad - a man who is much more concerned about money than animal welfare? The deeper Teddy and Summer dig, the more danger they’re in - because when it comes to hippo homicide, the truth can’t be caged!

Amazing Book!!!

Very entertaining in the car and just a fun book in general. The narrator is the same narrator who read the spy school series, which I thought was a good decision since he has done such an exceptional job in the past. A must-buy.

Love this book, but kinda sexist

This book is amazing and engaging, but Stuart Gibbs sometimes is kinda sexist to old women and little girls.
