Synopsis

In the eighth novel in New York Times bestselling Stuart Gibbs’s FunJungle series, Teddy Fitzroy returns as FunJungle’s resident sleuth to find the culprits behind a blown-up whale and a string of beach sand thefts.

After an escaped kangaroo starts a fire that burns down his house, Teddy Fitzroy accepts an invitation to go to Malibu with his girlfriend, Summer, and her mother, Kandace. He’s hoping to spend some time relaxing on the beach, but wherever Teddy goes, trouble isn’t far behind.

First, a massive dead whale has washed up on the beach—and before anyone can determine what killed it, it explodes. Doc, the head vet from FunJungle, suspects something fishy is going on and ropes Teddy and Summer into helping him investigate.

Then, Teddy stumbles upon yet another mystery involving tons of stolen sand. And the paparazzi start spreading rumors about Summer dating a celebrity, leading Teddy to question their relationship.

Without Summer as his trusted partner, can Teddy navigate the rough waters of this glitzy world and uncover what’s going on?

To state the obvious: Whale Done is well done! Gibbs continues to hit it out of the ballpark and I continue to devour each new entry in each of his mystery series.

Goodreads review by Liz W on June 19, 2023

I loved this newest installment in the FunJungle series. The antics were out in force and didn’t disappoint; I laughed out loud for the last two chapters at all the chaos! I enjoyed the messaging about taking care of the ocean and its inhabitants too. Kids are never too young to learn to take care o......more
