12-year-old Teddy has led a adeventurous life. As the son of a famous gorilla researcher mother and wildlife photographer father, Teddy has lived in wild places all over the world. How could he guess that one of his biggest adventures would happen at the first "real" job his parents had accepted? He is getting to live every kid's dream...being a full-time resident at FunJungle, an amazing destination zoo that is like Disney, only with animals. His mother has accepted a position as an animal expert and Teddy gets to spend the summer with the run of the park. Only, after a while, the fun wears a little thin.
Then Henry, is found dead. Henry is the bad-tempered hippo who is the mascot of the park, and who likes shooting the crowds with hippo poo. Many weren't really sad to see him go, however, no one suspects that it could be murder. After Teddy sneaks into the autopsy, he begins to suspect just that. But who would want to kill a hippo, even a rotten-tempered one? He ends up with an unlikely ally, Summer, the celebrity daughter of the billionaire park owner.
Their search for the solution leads them on many adventures...some gross, some life-threatening. Teddy begins to realize that he has no idea who he can trust, but the death of Henry leads to much larger secrets.
