Description

Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident sleuth when the zoo’s newest addition goes missing—before she even arrives!—in Panda-monium, the latest novel in Stuart Gibbs’s FunJungle series.

FunJungle is frenzied, awaiting the arrival of its most thrilling animal yet—Li Ping—a rare and very expensive giant panda that the zoo went to enormous lengths to secure. But when the truck transporting Li Ping shows up, its precious cargo has vanished into thin air. The FBI steps in to investigate, and Teddy is happy to leave the job in their (supposedly) capable hands. After all, FunJungle has never encountered a crime this serious. But when someone threatens to blackmail Teddy’s girlfriend, Summer, if he doesn’t solve the crime, his involvement in this mystery is no longer black and white.

Praise for Panda-monium (FunJungle)

"Gibbs never scrimps on creating belly-laughing hullabaloo for his white protagonists. Interweaving animal facts (pandas can produce 50 pounds of poop per day) into his plot, the author seamlessly inspires compassion and urgency on behalf of species endangered due to lack of habitat and exotic animal trafficking."
— Kirkus Reviews

"Gibbs never scrimps on creating belly-laughing hullabaloo...Never slumping into the formulaic doldrums, the FunJungle series keeps on chugging."
— Kirkus Reviews

"Readers who enjoy mysteries and animals will love Gibbs’ ability to mingle clues with animal facts. . . readers won’t have to be familiar with Teddy’s previous escapades to dive right into this story."
— Lindsey Tomsu
— Booklist

"...This is a great read that flows well and will engage readers through to the end. Perfect for lower-grade, high-level readers looking for appropriate content with a fully developed plot."
