Title/Blurb Preview

Jia-xuan found a tailless gecko at the sports ground. Feeling sorry for the little creature, he took it home to nurse it back to health. But before he even had a chance to ask his mother for permission, she tasked him with a sudden, urgent mission: to accompany his father, who had suffered an eye injury, to the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

Left with no choice, Jia-xuan hid the gecko in a small box and hurriedly brought it along with him to the airport. Will the gecko make it through airport security? What lies ahead for its fate?
