City of Evil Animals (Vol. 3): The Spy

Content

When her best friend Taiyo doesn't show up for swimming lessons near the mangrove island, Lizard fears the worst. A call from her companion animal Ajax, a sea eagle, fails to reassure her. Taiyo needs to go on a secret mission – that means something bad must have happened. Lizard is about to leave the island and row back home when she notices thousands of termites crawling around her. And they seem to be hatching a sinister plan. Before she can even find out what happened, she is attacked by the termites and on her way to Japan.
