A zoo mystery with a rhinoceros at risk

At FunJungle, added security cannot keep someone from getting close to Rhonda Rhino, a pregnant, endangered Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros. Teddy Fitzroy, the zoo’s resident sleuth, is officially enlisted to investigate, as suspicion turns to the black-market value of Rhonda’s horn. The zoo setting ties the mystery to wildlife protection and the risks surrounding a rare animal and her unborn calf. This follow-up to *Belly Up* and *Poached* centers its investigation on a threat inside a place built to protect animals.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in mysteries and animal-centered adventures
  • Readers who enjoy stories set in zoos
  • Those following Teddy Fitzroy’s FunJungle books

Book overview

Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle's resident zoo sleuth when a rhinoceros is at risk in Big Game, a follow-up 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.
