Sample of Challenges & Opportunities
A detective, his friend, and an orangutan. You've got to hand it to Poe, it's really unexpected, bizarre, entertaining stuff.
But it may take some time to get the class to warm up. Sure, everyone loves animals acting like humans, but the idea of an orangutan committing a murder might provoke some eye rolls. Teenagers are just. So. Cool.
