Belly upBy Stuart GibbsThis is about Teddy a boy who is spending all his days at the biggest and best zoo in america. Everything was boring until the mascot Henry is found, and suspected to be murdered. There is allot of strange stuff happing.I believe this was a good book because it had a few redhairings and a bit of action. Teddy had snuck into the autopsy of Henry and to watch and found out Henry was murdered. I think this book is for people who like mystery and unlikely alliances. This book is for ages 10-16 This book is fantastic. It's about Teddy, a 13 year old boy who lives at the Zoo and one of his adventures there. The Zoo's mascot, Henry the Hippo turns up dead and Teddy is eager to investigate. At first, he's in for some excitement but as time goes on, things get start to get dangerous...I think it's well written, the plot is strong and it's a "fun" read. For most of the time I was hooked, but at the start it is a bit slow. I think that most people will like this book as it has a little bits of everything. Mystery, adventure, realistic-fiction, friendship and animals. I encourage most people to give this book a go.
