What the Red Panda Knew

The secret tunnel connecting Wild Jim’s Laundromat to the Franklin City Zoo is short and dusty. Fifth-grader Andrew George has explored it so many times he knows every drop and turn by heart. Andrew finds himself torn between two worlds. On one side of the tunnel, he’s “the dullest kid in America,” at least according to his mother. On the other side, he is the Pintsized Picasso, a sought-after artist anonymously improving the zoo one masterpiece at a time. When a city-wide search launches to find the artist’s identity, Andrew must decide which side of the tunnel holds his real self-- or if the truth lies somewhere in between.
