11. 'Poached,' by Stuart Gibbs

What better setting for a middle grade novel than a zoo called Fun Jungle? This delightful book has everything: comedy, intrigue, suspense, sharks, shenanigans, hints of first romance, and a missing koala. At the center of it all is Teddy Fitzroy, who seems to attract trouble in spite of his best intentions. When Teddy becomes the primary suspect in a missing koala case, his parents – animal scientists living at the zoo – find their jobs in the line of fire. Now it’s up to Teddy to find the real culprit. The ensuing adventure is great fun and will appeal to a broad range of readers. (Ages 8 to 12)
