Danger at the Zoo: A Kit Mystery (American Girl Mysteries)

Kit lands a summer job writing a children's column for her local newspaper. She decides to look for story ideas at the Cincinnati Zoo, where her friend Stirling works as a guide and her old friend Will, the hobo, has a job cleaning cages. As Kit noses around the zoo, she stumbles into some strange doings in the monkey house. Her reporter's instincts tell her that she's onto something worth investigating--and she's determined to get the story.

Kit has a newspaper assignment to write a children’s article, but she’d much rather write a real piece about a mystery that’s coming together at the zoo. Is her hobo friend, Will, stealing? Who’s been causing the trouble? Who’s that man crying outside the gate? Everything comes together with Will keeping his job and the mystery solved- Kit even sells her articles!
