Mozzie's Mission
Mozzie is no ordinary mosquito—she hears the world as rhythm and feels destiny buzzing in every beat of her wings. From the instant she cracks her egg in a shrinking roadside puddle, Mozzie must marshal her unruly brood through searing heat, storm-drain mazes, and the razor strike of Drakon, the dragonfly that shadows their every flight. But puddle predators are only the beginning. Humans wield foggers, traps, and a terrifying gene-drive program that could erase mosquito-kind forever. Armed with nothing but courage, curiosity, and a gift for turning wingbeats into harmony, Mozzie forges an unlikely squad: Buzz, the joke-cracking brother who finds bravery in rhythm; Ada, the flamboyant day-flier who hides her fear behind flash; Nox, the night-wise guardian with secrets in her silent swoops; and Zane, a lab-bred sterile male seeking redemption. Together they invent sonic shields, outfly bats, and plan a daring raid on a guarded research lab—knowing each sunrise may be their last. Fast-moving, funny, and scientifically packed, Mozzie’s Mission is an adventure about finding your frequency in a world determined to silence you. If Mozzie can turn music into survival, she’ll leave behind more than an echo—she’ll launch the next generation on wings of legacy.
Jerry the Ant
“Jerry the Ant” is an early-reader adventure that follows upbeat but accident-prone Jerry, an ant who keeps causing tunnel disasters inside his colony. When the Queen discovers his remarkable ability to read week-old pheromone trails, she ‘promotes’ him to lone scout and sends him into the vast, uncharted backyard world to find new food. Outside, blades of grass become skyscrapers and dewdrops turn into tidal waves. Jerry rides a rolling droplet, pushes boulder-sized seeds, and builds a leaf boat across Puddle River, all while learning real science facts about exoskeletons, surface tension, and pollination. Along the way he gains friends—Lucy the ladybug and Benny the bumblebee—and adversaries like Marty the trickster mantis and Sylvia the hungry orb-weaver. Jerry uncovers the fate of a missing scout patrol, rescues survivors from a spider’s web, and eventually discovers the bountiful “Garden of Giants” (a strawberry patch). A sudden storm erases his scent trail home, forcing him to trust his crooked antenna and perfect memory to guide everyone back. By the time the weary crew returns, Jerry’s former flaws—his crooked leg and legendary clumsiness—have become celebrated symbols of courage and ingenuity, earning him promotion to Senior Scout Instructor and inspiring a new generation of ants. Throughout, humor and gentle science lessons reinforce themes that everyone has hidden talents, bravery is trying despite fear, and kindness plus curiosity can turn missteps into heroism.
