Trapped In Twingle’s Twilight Zoo

A middle-grade story perfect for readers 9 and up.

A hidden zoo. A terrible curse. One boy’s fight to break free.

Nine-year-old Henry isn’t expecting much from a summer at Grandpa’s quiet house in the woods. But when a storm finally breaks and he wanders beyond the old oak tree he was always told to avoid, Henry stumbles upon something impossible: a forgotten zoo tucked deep in the forest, its cages empty, its signs faded, its gates locked tight.

Yet the zoo is not abandoned. A strange caretaker appears, whispering that the cages once held children—and still do. Drawn by curiosity and the promise of new friends, Henry steps inside… and discovers a curse that changes everything. By day he becomes a beast trapped behind iron bars; by night he returns to being a boy, desperate to escape before the zoo claims him forever.

To break the curse and find his way home, Henry must uncover the truth about Ms. Twingle’s twisted zoo and summon a courage he never knew he had.

A magical, heartfelt adventure for readers 9 and up.
