Review: I liked this book because of many reasons, and their was only one reason I didnt like it. The one reason I didnt enjoy the book is because the ending cut off before explaining how it ended for all of the characters. Overall though I thought that this book was very good. One of the reasons I chose this book and a reason I liked it is because it is an adventure and it is excitig because they are always trying to escape. Another reason that I liked the book is that I like the author and I think that she did a good job writing the book, that is one of the things that made it interesting.

I think that the best part of the book is when the elephant saved the children from the criminal and they were able to capture him. If the elephant wouldnt have helped them then they might not have lived. After they escaped they were able to get the police who then put the man back in jail.

I think that the best story element was the setting. The author did an excellent job of picking a setting and she described it very clearly, she explained about everything at the zoo. She also did a good job with the conflict because it is something that could actually happen in real life with kids.

Summary: Terror at the Zoo
Review: Terror at the Zoo is a story set in Seattle about two kids who decide to sleep over at a zoo. Unfortunately, they soon discover that they have company; a burglar is also there. The book basically consists on that premise and setup leading to that. Besides being about one little episode, Terror at the Zoo is horribly written and amazed me with its corniness: at the end, the two kids escape by telepathically talking to an animal.
So, let's sum it up: one episode, badly written, stupidly corny. A great read if you have Down syndrome!

Summary: Reviewing An Interesting And Capturing Book
Review: What if you were locked in a zoo without your parents? Sound cool? Now what if you were locked in a zoo with an escaped criminal with a knife and no adults around to help? That's what Ellen and her little brother Cory have to deal with in Terror at the Zoo by author Peg Kehret.

A prize of an overnight sleep-over for four is auctioned off and Ellen and Cory's grandparents find it a fine idea as a gift for their granddaughter's birthday. But when Ellen and Corey's mom and dad's flight home gets delayed, and their grandmother is in the hospital because of an illness, there is no one to take care of the kids. Still, they decide they are not going to miss out on a great adventure and decide to go to the zoo sleep-over by themselves.

Meanwhile, an escaped fugitive looking for money goes to the zoo to kidnap a baby monkey and hold it for ransom. When Ellen and Cory find the escaped criminal in the middle of the night, the chaos really starts.

The children look for the zoo security guard, but he is no where to be found. To make things even worse, the only phone available is outside the locked zoo. With no way to reach a phone or find help, can Cory and Ellen escape from this hostile criminal, or are they,like the zoo animals themselves, trapped inside a fenced, barb-wired prison?

Will Ellen's science project of communicating with animals telepathically help her while she's locked in the zoo? Will Ellen and Corey be able to hide from the escaped criminal? Will their parents arrive it time to rescue them? This really is a night of terror at the zoo!

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time just waiting to find out what will happen next. If you like suspense, action, and fiction, I would highly recommend this book!

I really enjoyed it and I hope you will too.
