Danger Dan Confronts the Merlion Mastermind (book 1)

“A fun story that also educates!”
—Dr Tay Hui Yong, Vice-Principal, Nanyang Girls’ High

“Refreshingly well-written, with lots of local flavour. A fun and engaging read.”
—Zahira Mohd Sedik, Head of Department GEP Humanities, St Hilda’s Primary School

“A fun and funny adventure! An exciting debut by one of Singapore’s youngest authors!”
—Adeline Foo, author of The Diary of Amos Lee series

“Laugh-out-loud funny!”
—A.J. Low, author of Sherlock Sam series

“Warning: Danger Dan is dangerously fun. A solid hit. Kids, parents and even teachers will love this book!”
—David Seow, author of Sam, Sebbie and Di-Di-Di series

“Written by a mother-and-daughter duo, this fun new series for eight- to 12-year-olds mixes local history, comic book-style action and funky illustrations...In each book, they travel back in time to prevent Singapore's history from being written very differently - fancy a Merlion with orchids around its head?”
—Akshita Nanda, The Sunday Times

Lesley-Anne and Monica Lim are a mother-and-daughter writing team. They sometimes argue, like all mothers and daughters do, but they are able to work together because they have many thing in common – such as their love for writing, eating and sleeping (not necessarily in that order). They have spoken at many schools and festivals because they love meeting Danger Dan fans.

James Tan is an illustrator from Singapore. He likes to create comics and draw stuff, especially animals. He also enjoys doing traditional illustrations using ink and watercolor as there is something more tactile to these media, just like holding a book in your hand. He likes to draw things from his experiences as well as books he read. He enjoys travelling and drawing the new sights and sounds he sees around the world.
