When Sage invites Teddy to his family's ranch, no one suspects trouble. Somehow someone stole a 500lb. dinosaur skull worth millions in the middle of a rainstorm without leaving any clues! Sage's family was hoping/counting on the dig to help them save their cattle ranch. Teddy reluctantly agrees to help solve the mystery.
Meanwhile his old frenemies, the Barksdale twins contact Teddy. Their cat was swallowed by an anaconda and they want to know how to get their cat back. Teddy's famous girlfriend Summer wants to help solve the T-rex case, but also wants to stay out of the public eye.
Readers learn about smuggling and illegal trafficking of exotic pets, but this does not hurt the story. In fact, the two cases will keep readers guessing and Teddy is in more danger than ever before.
This is books 6 in the Funjungle series, but readers do not have to read the books in order, but really, why wouldn't they want to read them all?
Highly recommended grade 5 and up and anyone who loves mysteries. An author note about animal trafficking and reptile and exotic pet smuggling is included as well as a note that dogs and cats need homes and love also. A caution to do research before purchasing any animal is included and I thank the author for this. So many times, parents buy/get pets for their children without doing proper research and then give them up or worse, set them free in the wild where the animal may not be able to care for itself.
