A fast-paced and exciting read for middle grade fantasy, mystery, and animal buffs. Something strange is happening at the Clarksville City Zoo. Late at night, monkeys are scaling the walls and searching the neighborhood—but what are they looking for? Noah, his sister Megan, and their best friends, Richie and Ella, live next door to the zoo. Megan is the first to notice the puzzling behavior of some of the animals. One day Megan disappears, and her brother and their friends realize it's up to them to find her. Their only choice is to follow a series of clues and sneak into the zoo. But once inside, they discover there's much more to the Clarksville City Zoo than they could ever have guessed... The author originally had the idea for The Secret Zoo when he was nine and wondered what would happen if zoo exhibits had secret doors that allowed kids to go inside—and the animals to come outside. He brings that sense of adventure and excitement to this story, making it a favorite for home and classroom reading along with such middle grade fantasy favorites as The One and Only Ivan.

Fantastic book - for all ages.
I bought this to read to my 6 year old son at bedtime - and found myself reading on after he'd fallen asleep each evening!! It's such an exciting and interesting concept - a group of children who discover there is far more to the local Zoo than they ever imagined! Their adventures are amazing, and the animals they befriend are great characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out so we can find out what happens next.

Delightful story and well written!
My grandson and I have been reading together on FaceTime throughout the pandemic. This is one of the best books we've read! The story is engaging and whimsical, and the writing is excellent! This is what children's literature should be. Josh and I highly recommend this book. We plan to read the whole series.
