Summary
In the eighth novel in New York Times bestselling Stuart Gibbs’s FunJungle series， Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident sleuth to find the culprits behind a blown-up whale and a string of beach sand thefts。
After an escaped kangaroo starts a fire that burns down his house， Teddy Fitzroy accepts an invitation to go to Malibu with his girlfriend， Summer， and her mother， Kandace。 He’s hoping to spend some time relaxing on the beach， but wherever Teddy goes， trouble isn’t far behind。
First， a massive dead whale has washed up on the beach—and before anyone can determine what killed it， it explodes。 Doc， the head vet from FunJungle， suspects something fishy is going on and ropes Teddy and Summer into helping him investigate。
Then， Teddy stumbles upon yet another mystery involving tons of stolen sand。 And the paparazzi start spreading rumors about Summer dating a celebrity， leading Teddy to question their relationship。
Without Summer as his trusted partner， can Teddy navigate the rough waters of this glitzy world and uncover what’s going on？

Teddy and Summer are back in the latest FunJungle mystery。 This one takes place in Southern California， mostly Malibu， and features a dead whale and disappearing beaches。 The mysteries themselves are fantastic， with great messages about the environment。 Teddy & Summer hit a few bumps in their relationship and we see their growth as they work it out。 This eight book in the series has a lot more depth to it， while still retaining the action， adventure， and humor the FunJungle series is loved for。 Teddy and Summer are back in the latest FunJungle mystery。 This one takes place in Southern California， mostly Malibu， and features a dead whale and disappearing beaches。 The mysteries themselves are fantastic， with great messages about the environment。 Teddy & Summer hit a few bumps in their relationship and we see their growth as they work it out。 This eight book in the series has a lot more depth to it， while still retaining the action， adventure， and humor the FunJungle series is loved for。 Since Gibbs lives in SoCal， Malibu and its residents are portrayed very accurately。 Highly recommended for grades 4 & up。 eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss 。。。more
