The fifth book in the fast-paced and imaginative series about four adventurous friends and the secret world hidden in their local zoo. Ella, Noah, Richie, and Megan are in trouble—and so is the Secret Zoo! A captivating series for tween readers praised as "action packed and breathless" by Publishers Weekly , and "a fast-paced mix of mystery and fantasy" by School Library Journal . The Secret Zoo is an incredible world hidden beneath the regular Clarksville Zoo, where animals and humans peacefully coexist as equals. It is full of marvels. But even in the Secret Zoo, there are dangers . . . and forbidden places. When the scouts' friends are held in the off-limits sector—a never-ending maze of aquariums—Noah, Megan, Richie, and Ella must be at their most courageous. This page-turning mystery and adventure is perfect for reluctant readers! 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.

Review: Wonderful series - My daughter loves this series! It’s kept her engaged, she’s always looking forward to the next book!

Amazing series for kids!! MUST READ!!
I need to research what other books this author has written, my 7 year old and I both love this book. I read it with him every night before bed and every time we finish a book in the series we immediately download the next. I don't know if this will be the final book in the series as I do like things to eventually come to a close....but this author is a TOP notch kids writer. Even enjoyable for adults....great to have your kids read on their own or read to them....absolutely amazing!

Less Engaging
This book in the series seemed a little slow and less exciting. It took longer to read as the excitement wasn’t there.

Couldn't stop reading
I enjoy these type books, some of the middle school books are better than adult books. The series was awesome, can't wait for book 6!!

Great Addition to Secret Zoo series!
I bought this to round out my series of Secret Zoo books and enjoyed it as much if not more than the others. I was glad to see the same characters continue in this book particularly because it is their individual personalities that help make the story. It was a quicker read than the other books in the series but still worth reading. Is suitable for an avid reader in the fourth grade and up. I have enjoyed the world Mr. Chick has created in his story line and can not wait for the next one. I recommend that you buy this book for your younger reader or yourself, even if you are a Grandmother like me!

A fantastic series both for young readers and adults.
This whole series is beautifully written. I read these with my 10 year old grandson. The language is more than competent and less than too sophisticated. The stories all move along beautiful. Great visual description. Lots of action. Lots of suspense.
