Teddy Fitzroyâs back for another zoo mysteryâthis time itâs a koala caperâin this action-packed follow-up to Belly Up that School Library Journal called a âwhopper of a whodunit that delivers plenty of suspects, action, slapstick, gross bodily functions, red herrings, and animal trivia.â
School troublemaker Vance Jessup thinks Teddy Fitzroyâs home at FunJungle, a state-of-the-art zoo and theme park, is the perfect place for a cruel prank. Vance bullies Teddy into his scheme, but the plan goes terribly awry.
Teddy sneaks into the koala exhibit to hide out until the chaos dies down. But when the koala goes missing, Teddy is the only person caught on camera entering and exiting the exhibit.
Teddy didnât commit the crimeâbut if he canât find the real culprit, heâll be sent to juvie as a convicted koala-napper.
