      Danger Dan and Gadget Girl - Monica Lim

      Illustration

      Danger Dan surveys his magnificent Jungle Kingdom. It has taken him months of toil but his hard work has finally paid off! What was once an empty green field is now teeming with wildlife of all kinds and Danger Dan rules over them all. On his right is his brilliant Reptile Range, the very first of Danger Dan’s great work. Chameleons flaunt their coats of exotic colours. Secretive snakes hide in tree branches. At the heart of Reptile Range is Crocodile Rock, home to the largest crocodile ever. Danger Dan has built a special enclosure from carefully crafted granite blocks just to contain that tough creature. Danger Dan is tougher than any animal.

      Majestic eagles and flamboyant parrots jet through the Palace of Wings. His Deep Blue Aquarium houses gleaming tropical fish, graceful flying fish and terrifying great white sharks. The wise Danger Dan has chosen only the best polished glass and glistening steel to build his animal enclosures.

      And finally, Danger Dan’s newest addition: Treehouse Tower. Home to the Golden Baboon. Only the greatest of kingdoms can house this rare and prized primate with magical abilities. Danger Dan has constructed a special habitat made from an enchanting concoction of diamonds, gold dust and unicorn elixir. People will come from all over the land just to see this legendary animal. Danger Dan will be famous! He is the Guardian of the Animals. The true King of the Jungle!

      Illustration

      What’s that? Danger Dan’s supersonic hearing picks up some suspicious noises. His heart starts to pound. Something isn’t right. The Jungle Kingdom has gone mysteriously quiet. The familiar squawks, hisses and calls have disappeared. Everything is still.

      Suddenly, Danger Dan hears cries and shrieks coming from the Palace of Wings. His feathered friends are in danger! Danger Dan races to the Palace of Wings. Along the way, he passes Reptile Range and notices that all the chameleons have turned a bright fire-engine red. That can only mean one thing…they’re under attack!

      Danger Dan arrives at the Palace of Wings and comes face to face with his attacker. It is the infamous Beastly Bob! An evil thief and collector, he goes from kingdom to kingdom, robbing people of their finest animals.

      IllustrationIllustration

      Beastly Bob is accompanied by his powerful porcupine platoon! The spiny army fires painful, stinging quills at Danger Dan’s feathered friends. The birds dart in and out of the trees to dodge the bullets but the porcupine army will soon overpower them. Well, well, well…if it isn’t Danger Dan, sneers Beastly Bob. You do have a fine kingdom. Too bad it’ll be reduced to dust and ruin in a few minutes!

      No! Danger Dan cannot let that happen! He will need all his wits and quick reflexes to stop Beastly Bob. It is time for a SHOWDOWN!

      Eleven-year-old Danny clutched his phone agitatedly. He was in the MRT train on his way to his friend’s house. To pass the time, he had been playing his favourite game, Animal Abduction, against his online enemy, BeastlyBob276. Now that BeastlyBob276 had bypassed his defenses, they had to play a Quiz-Off. If Danny did not get at least one question right, he could lose all his precious animals to BeastlyBob276.

      With his quick reflexes and gaming skills, Danny could easily capture rare animals and build a fantastic zoo but Quiz-Offs were his weakness. He could never remember the details of animals apart from their names and he hadn’t been paying much attention to his science lessons in school. He hoped the questions wouldn’t be too difficult.

      Question One

      Describe the three stages of a cockroach’s life cycle.

      Ooh, that’s easy! Danny murmured. Cockroaches were the most horrible creatures ever. He wished they could be wiped off the face of the earth. Three stages…hmm… Danny typed out the answers: ‘Yucky’, ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting’. There! Three stages of a cockroach’s life cycle.

      INCORRECT!

      What! How can that be wrong! Danny was enraged. He didn’t see how you could describe a cockroach’s life cycle any other way. Maybe he should have typed ‘ugly’.

      BeastlyBob276’s porcupine army stormed into Danny’s Jungle Kingdom. The sea of little spiny black creatures stole fish, munched on the grass patches and shot sharp darts everywhere. Never mind, I’ll get the next question, Danny said to himself.

      Question Two

      How are guppies different from other fish?

      Let’s see…
