I want to thank #netgalley for a free copy of this book to review. I thoroughly enjoyed Gibbs' Spy Series so I chose to read this book as well. I enjoyed reading about the animals and the mystery and adventure in this book. I still prefer the Spy series to this one, but I enjoyed this more than the Space series he has. Anything I can get that is part of a series is preferential because it allows my students to fall in love with an author and have more books waiting once they are finished. My students (5th and 6th grades) will love this book.
Lots of twists and turns in this one that my daughter enjoyed. I didn't realize it was part of a series when I requested it and I was glad that it didn't seem to make any difference that we hadn't read any of the other books. This was a little above my daughter's age range, but she loves animals and there was nothing inappropriate in it so it was fine to read aloud as part of our nightly bedtime routine for a little while. I will say there were a few chapters that felt a little dragged out, but otherwise it was a fun book to read together.
Stuart Gibbs has written another wonderful addition to his FunJungle series! Teddy and Summer are enlisted to solve two mysteries, one of which will save a Lion. Stuart Gibbs uses his humor to captivate his readers while crafting a spell-binding story of conservation. I love this series! Ready for the next one.
Teddy Fitzroy is back and this time he has two mysteries to solve. The first one involves the Department of Fish and Wildlife. There’s a wild mountain living in the area and it is being blamed for the death of a pet dog. The dog happens to be the much touted pet of Shock Jock Lincoln Stone, who is calling for the death of the mountain lion. But there’s something suspicious about the crime scene and Lily Deakins, knowing Teddy’s prowess for solving mysteries through her zoo vet father, calls on Teddy for help. It seems that there is pressure from the bosses at Fish and Wildlife to end the investigation. Why? Teddy isn’t sure but he and Summer are on the case.
In addition, J.J. McCracken has recruited Teddy to find out who is poisoning the giraffes at Fun Jungle. So they set up a stake out, but is this really an investigation. Or is JJ McCracken trying to distract him from the mountain lion case?
Another fun adventure for Teddy and Summer with great humor.
It is great to revisit Summer and Teddy at Funjungle while gaining knowledge about shrinking habitats for animals. The story was adveventurous and fun.
Stuart Gibbs has written another winner. Like all the books in this series, there's plenty of action and suspense. This one has an added layer of potential violence. The book doesn't turn disconcertingly violent, but Gibbs manages to keep the book reasonably non-violent without a big let-down.
