Description
Life’s full of adventure! Right? Middle-grade detectives Sophia MacGregor and Pedro Gonzalez think so. Especially when you are telepathic and speak multiple animal languages!
Being a brilliant ten-year-old in a competitive Eighth Grade Honors Class is a minute-by-minute challenge. Outside school, more challenges abound. When Jack the Polar Bear’s regular zookeeper is the victim of a mysterious hit-and-run accident, Super Sleuths Sophia and Pedro find themselves investigating his replacement. A replacement whom Jack and the seals fear and distrust.
Their investigation uncovers a plot by Russian poachers to abduct Jack. Never have the stakes been higher. Instead of battling middle school snobs and bullies, they have just become a target of the Russian mob!
Advance Praise
"Susan Stoderl's book is a delight. Wonderful book for my niece, after I read it first. I also love that it has a little bit of History in it about NYC. I would recommend it for any young person who loves to read.
Thank you Susan, for a great book!

Sophia is a typical 8th grade student, JK! She doesn't fit in with her classmates, wears red high top sneakers rather than the most popular and trendy shoes, has telepathic abilities, and is able to communicate with a variety of animals She learns from her zoo animal friends that their usual zookeeper is off work due to an accident and the animals do not trust his replacement. Sophia and her trusted sidekick/best friend, Pedro, find themselves investigating their favorite zookeepers replacement and realize this is much bigger than they expected! They have uncovered a Russian plot to steal Sophia's favorite zoo animal, Jack. And they thought it was rough dealing with middle school bullies!
Middle school readers will love following Sophia and Pedro through their investigation and adventures. It's engaging and fast paced with plenty of animal conversations and a little NYC history, too,
