Noah and his friends continue to fight the Shadowist in the depths of Clarksville City Zoo. The series is filled with inventive marvels such as giant Sasquatches and chameleons that can cover a person and make her invisible. By book five, however, the plotting feels repetitive, and the reader begins to wish for more depth than the focus on the spectacular atmosphere allows.

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.
