Book #2 in the FunJungle series
A missing koala, a framed boy, and a race to uncover the truth.
Twelve-year-old Teddy Fitzroy finds himself in deep trouble when a koala vanishes from FunJungle, the zoo he calls home. Bullied into a prank by Vance Jessup, Teddy becomes the prime suspect, caught on camera at the scene. With the threat of juvenile detention looming, Teddy must unravel the mystery and find the real thief before it's too late. Can he clear his name and save the koala, or will he be trapped by a crime he didn't commit?
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.
