Fantastic, Functional Flute by Luca Meston

Do you need the latest gadgets for your next mission? Are you falling behind the spy trends? Do those criminals keep getting away? If that’s true, you must buy the Fantastic, Functional Flute (FFF). If they are getting away, the FFF might just come in handy. The FFF includes the best new features like: • A homing device so it will always come back to you • Keys that turn into mini shurikens • A laser that can burn through any type of metal • Can be used to communicate in morse code using quavers and semi-quavers And if that wasn’t enough, it comes with a hidden spyglass that can look at faraway places (maximum distance being 4.7 miles). It also has a free music book for playing normal music when you need to disguise in dangerous places. However, the most essential reason to buy this is there is a secret piece hidden in the back of the book. If played, you can stun criminals in any situation or send them to deep sleep (only lasts for 1 and a half hours). Be prepared to hear what James Bond (world-wide spy) has to say about the FFF. “Brilliant! I have no idea how I used to catch criminals without this gadget.” It also comes with a free case and spare keys. If bought in the next 3 days, you will get 15% money back.

Snowdrop and the Snow-Fox by Eva Reynolds Overhead, the huge, intimidating clouds threw down snow like stones pounding against Snowdrop’s soft coat.The howls of wind cut through the sky, slicing it in two halves. Everywhere Snowdrop looked, mammoth teeth-like mountains stabbed at the thickening fog, only making it more determined to swallow anyone up who came too close.The freezing cold wind pushed back at Snowdrop, forcing her to go in the wrong direction. Snowy and the Storm-wolf by Evelyn Clarke The snow sliced her fur.The wind whipped the tall trees causing them to sway like zombies. Snowy stood, engulfed in mist, shivering. Frost bit at her coat and rain poured relentlessly, the cold suffocating her. As the ominous black clouds surrounded the distant mountains, hail pounded the sleet-covered ground, making them rumble with fear. Ash and the Fire Dragon by Ivy Warren Lightning thrashed down like spears from the dreadful sky, setting trees alight by the thousands and felling them by the millions. Rain slashed at the ground, creating battered mud and overflowing rivers.The horrific wind stabbed at Ash’s feather coat, pushing her off balance and gnawing at her talons. Warmth.That was her only need.

The Chase by Henry Marconi

Lightning crashed on the trees; Max huddled in the shadows. Frozen leaves were scattered around in the half-moon light. Although tree roots nearly tripped her over, she still ventured into the forest.Trees as bare as a cactus stood like soldiers. Max took several deep breaths. Shelter. That is what he needed. Without hesitation, he ran into the hollow of a tree. Just making out a shape of a massive creature pacing, prowling, and inspecting. Each muscle flexed and pulsed a strong power: Max froze like it was a game of musical statues. The petrifying animal came nearer and nearer, and a low mumble vibrated around the Earth. Steam puffed itself out of its snotty, dirty nostrils with fury. Max could hear stomps bashing the floor like a stampede. Could it feel Max’s fear? Max could not take it anymore.Without thinking, he picked himself out of the hollow of the tree, ran across the pathway, with roots, and leaped over a small river. He heard a howl from the creature. Nearly landing in the river, he took lots of calm breaths. Silence. He was alone and he could still hear the loud thumps from the animal. He was safe…for now.
