To say Jeevan Singh has an unusual life is an understatement. Not many kids his age can say that they have a Neanderthal best friend and a Dodo for a pet. Even fewer could claim to have rescued a T-Rex! When a freak accident at his mum's fossil lab brings all sorts of extinct animals back to life, it's up to Jeevan and his new friends to save them before evil Barron Fox captures them.

After Jeevan saved a T-Rex from dangerous hunters in the summer, he thinks his biggest adventure is behind him. Winter is here, and with it there are snowball fights and snowboarding races with his Neanderthal friend, Toe. It would be the perfect winter, if Barron Fox's new hunting lodge wasn't progressing so quickly, and if his mum wasn't so obsessed with recreating his earlier accident at the lab. When she tries to bring another harmless fossil of an extinct passenger pigeon back to life, she's sure nothing could go wrong.

The secret stories of what leaves mean - and what they mean to us. Leaves are one of nature's marvels. We watch them turn red in autumn, make medicine from them, invent folklore around them and mark the passing of time by them. But how do they grow? Why are they the shapes they are? What makes an evergreen, evergreen? The Lives of Leaves is a beautiful compendium of the tales, science and history of leaves from all around the world. It's the story of what they do, what we do with them, and why we can't do without them.
