Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Teddy Fitzroy is back at FunJungle, facing his toughest challenge yet. When Rhonda, a pregnant and endangered rhinoceros, becomes the target of a sinister plot, Teddy is called to action. With the zoo's security measures failing, Teddy suspects a poacher is after Rhonda's valuable horn. For the first time, the zoo's head enlists Teddy's help, allowing him to investigate openly. As Teddy delves deeper, he uncovers a dangerous scheme that could threaten Rhonda and her unborn calf. Can Teddy solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident zoo sleuth when a rhinoceros is at risk in Big Game, a companion to Belly Up and Poached–which Kirkus Reviews called a “thrill-ride of a mystery.” When someone takes aim at Rhonda Rhino, FunJungle’s pregnant (and endangered) Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros, the zoo steps up security measures in order to protect this rare animal and her baby. But the extra security isn’t enough–someone is still getting too close for comfort. Teddy and company start to suspect that whoever is after Rhonda is really after her horn, which is worth a lot of money on the black market. For the first time ever, the head of the zoo enlists Teddy for help–for once, he doesn’t have to sneak around in order to investigate–and the results are even more wacky, and even more dangerous, than ever before.
