Bookroo's summary

When wildlife stars visit Bayport Elementary, Frank and Joe are thrilled—until Bubba the Boa disappears. With a menagerie of exotic animals and a school full of curious kids, the Hardy brothers must unravel the mystery of the missing snake. Is it a prank, or something more sinister? As they dig deeper, time is running out. Can they find Bubba before chaos ensues?

From the publisher

When wildlife celebrities come to Bayport Elementary, Frank and Joe are soon on the case of a missing snake in this Hardy Brothers Secret Files adventure. Jumpin’ Jack and his son, Little Jim, have been on television for years, taming tigers and wrestling alligators, but now they’re bringing their traveling menagerie to schools–and Bayport Elementary is next! During the event, they show students a baby kangaroo, a boa constrictor, a flying squirrel and other exotic animals. Frank, Joe, and their friends are all having a great time, until they realize Bubba the Boa is missing! He’s not in his cage or in Jack’s giant van. Can they figure out what happened to this slippery snake before it’s too late?
