BLURB:

It’s just another day in the life of an average kid. If you’re Alex Rider, that is. A con artist has realized there is big money in charity: the bigger the disaster, the greater the money flow! So that is what he will produce: the biggest disaster known to man, all thanks to genetically modified corn that can release a virus so potent it can knock out an entire country in one windy day. But Alex Rider will face whatever it takes – gunfire, explosions, hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries – to bring down his most dangerous adversary yet.

BLURB:

Panda is lonely. One day, he sees another panda and wants to make friends, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He watches the flamingos make friends by dancing together, so he tries dancing-but that doesn’t work. Then he sees lemurs bouncing and leaping together, so he tries bouncing and leaping-that doesn’t work, either. Will he ever figure out a way to make a friend?
