AlbakiReads Editorial

A zoo mystery with a conservation stake

At FunJungle, a threat to Rhonda Rhino—a pregnant, endangered Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros—turns a security problem into a mystery. Teddy Fitzroy investigates the danger to Rhonda and her baby, with the possibility that someone is targeting the valuable horn as the case’s central suspicion. This installment changes Teddy’s usual circumstances: the zoo’s head formally asks for his help, so he can investigate without sneaking around. The premise brings together a children’s detective story, zoo security, and the risks posed by the black-market trade in wildlife parts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ages 9–12 readers interested in mysteries and detective stories.
  • Readers who enjoy stories set in zoos and involving animals at risk.
  • Those following Teddy Fitzroy’s FunJungle books, including Belly Up and Poached.

Book overview

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.
