About this item
Twelve\-year\-old Theodore \x26#8220;Teddy\x26#8221; Roosevelt Fitzroy has murder on his hands and trouble on his tail. He believes that Henry, the hippopotamus at the brand\-new FunJungle, has been murdered. The zoo\x26#8217;s top brass claim the hippo went belly up the natural way, but Teddy and his feisty friend Summer McCraken have other ideas. Could the culprit be FunJungle\x26#8217;s animal\-hating head of operations? Or is it FunJungle\x26#8217;s owner\x26#8212;Summer\x26#8217;s dad\x26#8212;a man who is much more concerned about money than animal welfare? The deeper Teddy and Summer dig, the more danger they\x26#8217;re in\x26#8212;because when it comes to hippo homicide, the truth can\x26#8217;t be caged!
