About this ebook
It’s Noodle and Zeek’s greatest adventure yet! The boys are excited to learn that they are going on a quest for the mysterious Golden Lizard with the Emersons, the famous husband-and-wife explorer team. What could be more daring and fun than a treasure hunt in the jungle? But as the group soon discovers, they aren’t the only ones after the Golden Lizard. When the Emersons are kidnapped, Noodle and Zeek know it is up to them to save the day.
The boys must rescue the Emersons, fight off ninja linebackers, and find the Golden Lizard before the bad guys can. But the truth about the legendary Golden Lizard is something that Noodle and Zeek could never have imagined.

Danger Guys and the Golden Lizard - Tony Abbott
ONE
It was a dark night. No moon. No stars.
A soft breeze swept across the rooftop of the three-story building.
Crunch-crunch! The sound of footsteps running up hard behind me. I whirled around.
It was my best friend, Zeek Pilinsky, dodging skylights and exhaust pipes.
We’ll never make it,
I whispered.
Forty-five seconds, Noodle. We’ll make it.
Zeek flashed me a big grin and punched his thumb up in the air. Then he trotted across the roof.
I love when he does that with his thumb.
But I still didn’t think we’d make it.
I followed him to a low wall at the edge of the roof and peeked over the side. Three floors. It sure seems a lot higher when you look down.
Hey, getting down is easy. The tricky part is getting over there.
Zeek nodded toward the rooftop of the far building. It was at least fifty feet away.
Impossible.
Zeek laughed. Sure it is. For everybody else in the world. But we’re Danger Guys, and we happen to have one of these.
Zeek held up a long thin rope with a claw tied to the end of it.
He’s right. We are Danger Guys, a couple of buddies who get into some major danger stuff. And right then, we were smack in the middle of another dangerous mission.
Zeek hurled the claw into the air toward the other building.
Fwing! It hooked tight over the edge of the roof.
What an amazing arm!
Yeah, that’s Zeek. Great at baseball, great at football, great at basketball. The star of Mayville.
He tied the end of the rope to a metal hook on our roof. Then he dug into his pocket and took out a couple of pulleys. The kind you hold on to.
You first, Noodle. Over the side.
He handed me a pulley.
I looked again to the far roof. I don’t know.
It was your plan, Noodle.
He was right. It was my plan. I’m the plan man, the guy who thinks of all the ideas.
I’d even written this one down.
I whipped out a crinkled piece of brown grocery bag paper, unfolded it, and stared at the dotted lines and Xs. I gotta rethink this.
Give me that!
Zeek grabbed the paper and shoved it in his pocket. It’ll work. Let’s go.
He was right. With his muscles and my ideas, of course the plan will work. We’re a great team. We do everything. We’ve done everything.
Well, not exactly everything. I imagined the long fall we would take if this plan did not work. We’ve never been broken into a thousand pieces.
Twenty-eight seconds, pal.
Okay, okay.
I set the pulley thing on the rope and grabbed the sides with both hands. Just as I was about to leap off—
Errrkkk! A shiny black limo pulled up fast and screeched to a stop below. Six men in black suits tumbled out onto the sidewalk.
Wait a second,
I whispered. Who are—
Umph! Zeek gave me a shove.
Zwirr! I slid down the rope to the far building.
Wump! I kicked against the wall when I hit it. Zeek slid down right after me.
A second later we were lowering ourselves down the wall, from window to window, like spider kids.
This one,
I said, nodding at the window in front of me. It’s in here. It has to be.
If it isn’t,
whispered
