Belly Up -- Stuart Gibbs

Twelve-year-old Theodore "Teddy" 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'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's animal-hating head of operations? Or is it FunJungle's owner--Summer's dad--a man who is much more concerned about money than animal welfare? The deeper Teddy and Summer dig, the more danger they're in--because when it comes to hippo homicide, the truth can't be caged!<br><br><b>Author:</b> Stuart Gibbs<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 07/05/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781416987321<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 10<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>137835 / Belly Up<br><br><b>Award:</b> Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award - Nominee<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Stuart Gibbs is the N<i>ew York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation</i>, <i>Charlie Thorne and the Lost City</i>, the FunJungle and Moon Base Alpha series, and the Spy School series.
