Description
When twelve-year-old Teddy hears that Henry the hippopotamus—the beloved star of a popular Texas zoo—has been murdered, he can’t let the mystery rest. Teaming up with unlikely allies and following clues behind the scenes of animal care and daily routines, Teddy uncovers secrets that don’t fit the official story. As he digs deeper, the case becomes a fast-paced investigation into trust, responsibility, and what it really means to protect a community. With Stuart Gibbs’s sharp, kid-friendly storytelling and knack for suspense, this is a clever mystery that keeps readers turning pages while exploring the courage it takes to ask the questions adults would rather avoid.
