Why this book counts

  • Life Science
  • Environment & Ecology
  • Story / Adventure
  • Nature Narrative / Field Discovery
  • Maker / Problem-Solving

All Ears gives Teddy Fitzroy two linked investigations: finding a missing African elephant and clearing a friend accused of damaging equipment at a wind-farm site that would replace wildlife habitat. Elephant behavior, human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss, and the tradeoff between renewable energy and local conservation repeatedly determine which clues and motives make sense.

The science inside

  • Animals & Zoology
  • Conservation
  • Ecosystems
  • Energy

Your child will meet:

  • Knowledge of an animal's normal behavior helps investigators evaluate an unusual disappearance.
  • Habitat loss can occur even when a development project has a broader environmental benefit.
  • Conservation decisions often require comparing effects on individual animals, populations, and ecosystems.
  • Human land use can increase conflict with wildlife without the animals themselves being the root problem.

Use it this way

For Tanzy's case, make two columns labeled 'elephant evidence' and 'human claim,' and ask which suspect theory changes when the animal evidence is considered. Then use TurtleTown for one balanced question: what does the wind project help, and what habitat does its location harm?

Parent effort: Quick discussion

In the ninth novel in New York Times bestselling author Stuart Gibbs's FunJungle series, resident sleuth Teddy Fitzroy is on the case to find a missing elephant and clear his friend of vandalism. When a herd of elephants interrupts the big Friday night football game, the police enlist Teddy and his father to assist them in getting the animals safely back home to the elephant sanctuary. Only when they arrive, their owners realize one of the elephants has gone missing! The lone African elephant, Tanzy, is still out there somewhere. Then Teddy's best friend, Xavier, is accused of vandalizing a bulldozer in protest of a builder ruining a beloved piece of land they call TurtleTown. Teddy is torn. His best friend needs him but so does Tanzy. Can Teddy crack both cases before someone gets hurt?
