The Zoo with the Empty Cage


The Zoo with the Empty Cage
(Field Trip Mysteries)
by Steve Brezenoff
Illustrated by C.B. Canga

Edward Garrison, known to friends as Egg, is headed towards the zoo for a Science Club field trip. Little does he know that there will be a mystery involved involving missing foxes. Egg and his friends have to figure out who the suspects are and who really is their culprit.

I really love this young mystery series. The character are fun and quirky and the mysteries are basic but fun - perfect for younger and struggling readers. Again, I enjoyed the vocabulary, discussion questions, and writing prompts at the end of the book. The illustrations and set of the book are awesome and definitely would grab a kid's attention.

5/5 Roses


*This book was given to me for review by the publisher.
