The 'monster' turns out to be just a little boy. Otto, Grendel's cousin -but he has formidable mental powers that can be matched only by Monkeyji. Armed with an ammunition of words hoarded by Siril and Gardy, the adventurers roam Hong Kong the city of dragons in search of him. There is tension and taut excitement as they finally take on little Otto and his platoon of crows, in the midst of which the author throws up an interesting idea: does something exist only if it has a name?

Siril the ant is not his practical, rational self at all. He gazes at the sky all night, mumbles to himself, doesn't answer when spoken to... Beautiful is puzzled and upset. Is he in love? She is even more startled when she discovers that he intends to build a spaceship and fly to one of Jupiter's moons, in response to a sad cry for help! In spite of Beautiful's misgivings, the adventurers do zoom into space with the help of anti-gravity pads, the scientific genius of the Techno Sage, and some very useful mind power from the other sages. But can they really help a moon correct its path? A sci-fi fan herself, Suniti Namjoshi takes the genre way beyond its usual orbit, combining the thrill and beauty of the world beyond with gentle sentiment and unusual insights.

Is Gardy the lost lion cub prince who, legend says, will return to save the City of Lions? He isn't quite sure but rushes there all the same in response to an urgent email, along with the other adventurers. They find that the city is indeed under threat from its very own haughty, crotchety, bickering guardians, Sir Leon and The Old Woman Under the Sea. The first book in the third set of the series sees the friends in a different part of the world Singapore, the 'city of lions'. And this time their challenge is far from straightforward. How do they make the two venerable guardians see that they themselves are the problem? In another entertaining story, the author opens up our eyes to what seeing clearly is all about.
