Reach for this book when your child is ready for a high-stakes adventure that balances sharp wit with a deep respect for the natural world. This seventh installment of the FunJungle series takes twelve-year-old Teddy Fitzroy away from the zoo and into the wild landscapes of Wyoming. It is an ideal pick for young readers who love solving puzzles and are beginning to advocate for environmental or animal welfare causes. Through the lens of a jewelry heist and disappearing bison, the story explores themes of justice, accountability, and the complexities of land conservation. While the mystery is fast-paced and humorous, it also challenges readers to think about the ethics of how humans interact with wildlife. It is perfectly pitched for the middle-grade audience, offering enough danger to be exciting without becoming overwhelming. Parents will appreciate how Stuart Gibbs weaves real scientific facts about bison and grizzly bears into a narrative that feels like a modern day Hardy Boys with an ecological heart.
