<b>'"A tall woman with an eye patch came striding in. She wore a headwrap and dress in sizzling colours: hot pink, flaming orange, scorching yellow. She lit up the bakery like a firework display.</b><br />
<b>"Hello Frankie," she said.</b><br />
<b> "Mizz Z!" gasped Frankie. "You've come back from Africa!"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Yes, Miss Zauyamakanda (otherwise known as Mizz Z), Chief Inspector and part-time football coach, is back in town!</b><br />
<b> In China Town to be specific, in a city in England. (Here's the gateway to Chinatown with the city football stadium in the background.) </b><br />

<b>In Book One, "Zilombo" published in UK by Tamarind Books (American Edition published by Lee and Low as "Monster in the Mudball") Mizz Z, Chief Inspector of Ancient Artefacts, along with Jin and his big sister Frankie, battled an ancient shape-shifting monster. Now Mizz Z is back, facing an even more formidable foe, the dreadful Avenger, once the most deadly weapon of a tyrant called the Crocodile King. And, this time, it's personal!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b>
<b>ONCE CURSED, YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!</b><br />
<br />
"No one the Crocodile King cursed EVER escaped Avenger," Mizz Z told Frankie. "You could run to the ends of the Earth, hide in the deepest caves, or on the highest mountains but Avenger never, ever gave up. It ALWAYS tracked you down. And it showed no mercy. It couldn't. Because it's just a machine with no feelings."<br />
"It's a heap of junk!" said Jin.<br />
"You're joking us!" scoffed Frankie.<br />
"I do not joke," said Mizz Z, "about things like that. But it is perfectly harmless," insisted Mizz Z, "because it has lost its powers completely. Only the Crocodile King can activate it. And the Crocodile King has been dead for centuries. So it cannot happen."<br />
<br />
But, for once, Mizz Z is WRONG! She and all her family are cursed by the Crocodile King who orders Avenger to hunt them down. Mizz Z finds herself tracked through the night-time city streets by the terrible Avenger. Somehow, Jin and Frankie must break the Crocodile King's curse, or the Chief Inspector herself will be Avenger's first victim.<br />
Followed by her little brother Kapito (top computer game designer) who, with terrible timing, is flying into England from his home in America next morning!<br />
<br />
Also in this story are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>An ancient and very temperamental bun steaming stove called The Iron Dragon, that drives Auntie Tang crazy.</li>
<li>Jin's Dad,a tough rodent control technician (or rat killer), who is a legend in his own life time.</li>
<li>A Giant African Pouched Rat( who can sniff out land mines) and is a hero back in Africa. </li>
</ul>

Vampire spiders should be extinct. They're as big as small dogs and not very bright. They make modern spiders look clever. Millions of years ago they hunted in packs and chased their prey along the ground with big stabbing claws. But somehow they've survived in caves underneath the creepy and sinister mansion "The Lair."</div>

Find out what happens when spider fanatic Finn and his big sister Phoebe do battle with them. Also with the terrible Lady Withers, cruel Victorian Agony Aunt and crusher of servant girls' dreams - who's obsessed with dusting, handwriting and flannel knickerbockers. And who just can't stop giving advice even though she's been dead over a 100 years.</div>

A virus is turning people into human/plant hybrids. But the new species, the Verdans are peace-loving, calm and happy. Everyone wants to be Verdan! Soon people are queueing up to get infected. The only humans left are Immunes like Jay and a few stubborn hold-outs, like his dad.</div>

Then the Cultivars rise. Bred from the most aggressive plants on the planet, they're violent, powerful warlords. Their leader is the ruthless Viridian - Jay's blood brother and worst enemy. And Viridian won't stop until he's wiped out the entire human race.</div>

NO ONE THAT THE CROC KING CURSES EVER ESCAPES AVENGER .... AVENGER NEVER GIVES UP. IT ALWAYS TRACKS YOU DOWN.<br />
<br />
Frankie and Jin and the formidable Mizz Z find themselves caught up in a centuries-old curse. Can they help Mizz Z to break it? Or will the evil Avenger claim another victim?<br />
<br />
Frankie sprang back, startled.<br />
<i>A carving as tall as her brother Jin was staring at her. It had a square body and blocky hands and feet as if it had been roughly hacked, in a big hurry, from a lump of wood. It had jointed arms and legs, like a clumsy life-size puppet and it bristled all over with bits of sharp metal, that had been hammered into its wooden body. A crest of giant spikes ran , like a Mohawk, over its wooden skull, from its forehead to its spine.</i><br />
<i>"It's called Avenger," said Mizz Z, coolly. "And it once belonged to the Crocodile King."</i><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The proper name of Water Bears is Tardigrades. There are
millions of these cute little creatures all around you. But they’re only a
fifth of a millimetre long. You need a microscope to see them. They like living
in moss (they’re known as “moss pigs” in
America) and moist places. They eat moss and they have eight stubby legs that end in
claws so they can clamber about among the moss leaves.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The amazing thing about them is that they’re
practically INDESTRUCTIBLE! Their eggs
can survive boiling water, being frozen in ice. They can survive in outer space
without a space suit which we humans will never be able to do. </b></span></span><br />
