The Secret Zoo by Bryan Chick
2.0

This book had potential. The idea for the story was original. A girl has gone missing and her brother and two friends must search through the secrets of the community zoo to discover what happened to her.

However a lack of exploration on what a family is like when a child is missing made the story two dimensional. There was absolutely no parent involvement. The adults who are in the story are poorly written.

I had hopes for this book but it was kind of a mess
