Belly Up

This book is about a boy who grew up in Africa, named Teddy Fitzroy. He was living in a trailer in a huge zoo, called Funjungle, in Texas, where his parents both worked. Teddy got in trouble with Large Marge, a security guard at the zoo, for giving the monkeys water balloons. Large Marge got a call from Hippo River, saying that Henry Hippo, the zoo's mascot is dead. Nobody suspects anybody would hurt him, but Teddy knows it was murder and has to find out who did it. If you like mysteries, and hippos, this is a good book.
