Noah”s sister Megan noticed some strange things happening at the local zoo. Like the animals leaving the zoo in the middle of the night, or suddenly appearing out of nowhere in exhibits. She started documenting the strange events in her diary. But Megan didn”t notice the shadowy presence watching her. Then she disappeared! Now it”s up to Noah and his two best friends to find her-sneaking around the nasty zoo workers intent on keeping them out. Luckily, the animals are on their side. With the help of polar bears, penguins, prairie dogs, and more, the adventurers make an astonishing discovery: behind the exhibit walls exists an alternate world, where humans and animals coexist as equals. And the world is under threat. The Secret Zoo is the gripping beginning of a brand-new series from debut author Bryan Chick.

Biographical note:
Bryan Chick is the author of the Secret Zoo series. He originally had the idea for the series when he was a nine-year-old and wondered what would happen if zoo exhibits had secret doors that allowed children to go inside … and the animals to come outside. Bryan Chick lives with his wife and three children in Clarkston, Michigan.
