Solve mysteries at a city zoo with a diverse group of kids in this
illustrated chapter book from a two-time Newbery Honor author.
Lions and tigers for neighbors? That doesn't bother Luke at all. It's
making new friends that scares him. Not only has Luke had to move from
Florida to New York because of his dad's new job as a zoo doctor, but
he's also had to leave behind his best friend--his abuelo.
When Luke discovers that there are other kids also living on Zoo Lane
and that one of them might be the owner of a mysterious zebra-printed
box left outside his house, he wonders if just maybe he can make friends
and solve a mystery in this wild new place.
In this first book of the series, two-time Newbery Honor author Patricia
Reilly Giff has crafted a charming story about conservation, animal
care, friendship, and problem-solving. In touch with the programs and
initiatives that today's zoos are undertaking, Giff provides readers
with a fresh look at the work of zoologists. Charming line artwork by
Abby Carter appears throughout and keeps the story upbeat.
