Did you know that we kill more mountain lions than they kill us? Most of this is because humans cut down trees, which leaves many lions without a home. A well-known celebrity has accused a mountain lion of killing his dog! The mountain lion's name is Rocket, and it might be on FunJungle property! Teddy Fitzroy, who solved many mysteries at FunJungle, is asked to investigate by Lily Deakin, Doc's daughter. After looking at the evidence, Teddy knows that Rocket couldn't have killed the dog. But who did? I didn't really like this book as much as I did the other ones because Teddy doesn't get into as much danger. Animal lovers will like this book.
Lion Down (FunJungle)
By Stuart Gibbs
Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident sleuth when a lion is falsely accused of killing a distinguished dog in the latest novel in New York Times bestselling author Stuart Gibbs’s FunJungle series.
For once, operations at the enormous zoo/theme park appear to be running smoothly (except for the occasional herring-related mishap in the penguin exhibit) and Teddy Fitzroy is finally able to give detective work a rest. But then a local lion is accused of killing a famous dog—and the dog’s owner, an inflammatory radio host, goes on a crusade to have the cat declared a nuisance so it can be hunted. But it looks like the lion might have been framed, and a renegade animal activist wants Teddy and Summer to help prove it. Soon, Teddy finds himself wrapped up in the middle of his most bizarre, hilarious, and dangerous case yet.

The Funjungle lion is a suspect for killing a dog, and it's owner tries to convince evrrybody to hunt the lion. Now it's up to Teddy and SUmmer to protect the lion and find out who really killed the dog and why it was so upsetting. What they found out is astonishing, and I loved this book overall. I hope you guys read it. You won't regret it!
In the latest book in the Fun Jungle series written by the author Stuart Gibbs, everyone is surprised when Lion suddenly goes missing. Lots of people are sure that JJ Mcracken took the lion down, but Teddy doesn't want to believe that. But when Summer says she wants to investigate the case, he isn't sure what to say. He doesn't want to get into danger again, but he wants to find out the truth. Plus, JJ is paying him and Summer to solve a smaller case. What will Teddy do? Read the book to find out!
This is the fourth book in Stuart Gibbs' FunJungle series and the books are getting really repetitive. Teddy, the main character, just keeps solving mysteries at FunJungle that all the adults can't solve. In this book, he has to figure out why the FunJungle giraffes are getting sick, as well as proving that a mountain lion got framed for killing a dog. It is an okay book but if you read the whole series you can get kind of tired of the plot line, because it is the same in all of the books. It is a good read, just not my favorite.
