Ape Escape sends Teddy Fitzroy across Rwanda, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar to rescue a stolen baby gorilla from a wildlife-trafficking network. Gorilla needs, African habitats, poaching, and field clues set the route and urgency, making conservation science inseparable from the international chase.

The science inside

  • Animals & Zoology
  • Conservation
  • Ecosystems

Your child will meet:

  • Young gorillas depend on social care and the protection of a family group.
  • Mountain gorillas occupy limited habitats, which makes population losses especially serious.
  • Illegal wildlife trafficking harms individual animals and can threaten already vulnerable species.
  • Terrain, animal behavior, and local ecosystems affect how a field search proceeds.

Use it this way

Mark Rwanda, the Serengeti region, and Zanzibar on a map as the chase moves, pairing each stop with the animal or conservation clue found there. Treat the route and danger as fiction, not travel or wildlife-intervention guidance, and discuss reporting suspected trafficking to authorities rather than confronting anyone.

Parent effort: Simple activity

In the tenth novel in New York Times bestselling author Stuart Gibbs's FunJungle series, super sleuth Teddy Fitzroy is on the case to rescue an abducted gorilla! When a baby gorilla is stolen from an orphanage in Rwanda, Teddy, his parents, and an old family friend find themselves in a race against time to save it. Teddy has to piece together clues to figure out where the little ape is being taken while traveling through some of the most incredible--and dangerous--terrain in the world. At the same time, he's long-distance consulting with Summer to help solve another mystery back at FunJungle. Between facing down lions on the Serengeti and chasing poachers through the bazaars of Zanzibar, will Teddy be able to find the baby gorilla before it's too late?
