Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle's resident zoo sleuth when a rhinoceros is at risk in Big Game, a companion to Belly Up and Poached-which Kirkus Reviews called a "thrill-ride of a mystery."When someone takes aim at Rhonda Rhino, FunJungle's pregnant (and endangered) Asian greater one-horned rhinoceros, the zoo steps up security measures in order to protect this rare animal and her baby. But the extra security isn't enough-someone is still getting too close for comfort.

For the first time ever, the head of the zoo enlists Teddy for help-for once, he doesn't have to sneak around in order to investigate-and the results are even more wacky, and even more dangerous, than ever before.
