Big Game by Stuart Gibbs

4.0

In this third book in the FunJungle series, seventh grader Teddy has another mystery on his hands. Someone has taken a shot at Rhonda the Asian rhinoceros, who is not only endangered but pregnant as well. Since rhinoceros horns are extremely valuable, the zoologists are concerned that poachers are targeting the rhinos in the park. Teddy wants to investigate, and this time JJ McCracken actually requests his help. Together, Teddy and Summer track clues through the park. They find themselves in situations that are either humorous or dangerous as the mystery unfolds. There are plenty of suspects as well as nighttime encounters with a variety of animals. Without being heavy-handed or taking away from the action-packed story, Mr. Gibbs provides excellent information about the importance of protecting Rhinos and other endangered species. Recommended for grades 3 & up. I suggest reading the series in order.
