About this ebook
Josh, Danny, and the mad scientist Petty Potts waltz over to the zoo and try out an awesome spray that turns them into anacondas! But when Petty wanders off, the twins soon realize that they are in danger of being put in a cage with the other anacondas. Which means, when the S.W.I.T.C.H. spray wears off and they turn back into boys, they will become a tasty snack for the snakes!

Anaconda Adventure - Ali Sparkes
Slithery, slithery, slithery …
Petty Potts pushed her face up against the glass, steaming it up with her breath and bending her nose sideways.
She’s going wrong again,
muttered Danny.
Ahem! Who’s she?
demanded Petty Potts, stepping away from the glass and shoving her thick spectacles up the bridge of her nose so she could glare at him. The cat’s mother? I was merely trying to build the excitement.
You don’t need to build any excitement!
Josh pointed to the enormous snake on the other side of the glass. "You’re just about to S.W.I.T.C.H. Danny and me into one of those. It doesn’t get more exciting than that!"
"Although we’re not sure why you want to do it here, Danny added. They were in the reptile house at The Wilderness Zoological Park.
I mean—surely it would be safer to do this S.W.I.T.C.H. in the lab?"
It would,
Petty said. But I’m working on a new theory. Will your behavior patterns be affected if you S.W.I.T.C.H. in proximity to a real snake?
Josh and Danny stared through the glass and shivered with excitement … and a little fear. On the far side, a yellow and black scaly face rose up, staring back at them through almond-shaped eyes. A black forked tongue waved in the air, trying to scent them.
A yellow anaconda,
read Danny, peering at the little information plaque next to the display. Grows up to two or three yards in length and eats birds, reptiles and mammals. Non venomous. Kills prey by constriction. Not large enough to kill humans. Aaaw!
He turned to Petty. I want to be large enough to kill humans! Why can’t I be large enough to kill humans? It’s not fair.
Josh thwacked the back of his twin brother’s head with a rolled-up Wilderness Zoological Park souvenir guide, briefly flattening Danny’s spiky blond hair. You’re not planning to kill any humans, are you? So it’s not really a problem!
I know …
pouted Danny. I’d just like to know we could if we wanted to …
Which is precisely why you’re getting this S.W.I.T.C.H. spray,
Petty said, holding out a small, white plastic bottle with a spray nozzle on the top. The letters Y A
for yellow anaconda were written on it in permanent marker. I do have a green anaconda spray too, and they’re the huge, human-eating size. But that’s for later. For now, I don’t want you getting overexcited and deciding to crush me to death on a whim. And in any case, you’re only going to be S.W.I.T.C.H.ed for half a minute. This bottle has a very precise spray button, and I’ve calculated the dose for exactly thirty seconds and no more.
When Josh and Danny had first been S.W.I.T.C.H.ed, it was by accident—into house spiders. It had been utterly terrifying to be the unwitting guinea pigs for Petty’s Serum Which Instigates Total Cellular Hijack—and it would never have happened at all if Piddle, their dog, (named after a rather unfortunate habit he had when he got excited) hadn’t run into their neighbor’s back garden. It was while rescuing him that they’d stumbled into Petty’s secret underground laboratory—and right into a jet spray of S.W.I.T.C.H.
Now, months later, it was hard to imagine how they’d resisted getting involved with Petty’s S.W.I.T.C.H. Project. Since they’d helped her find the missing code to the Reptile S.W.I.T.C.H.
