The Extraordinary Life of Riz
Riz needed no one in his life except his best friend, Big Al, and Uncle Qasim. And he especially did not need any of those annoying, pesky, fatal she-mantises.
Until Dua came into his life.
When Mother Nature steps in to ruin Riz’s life and happy ending, Riz and Big Al are thrust into an extraordinary adventure, running for their lives from an enemy who knows them too well and will never give up.
If they manage to survive this adventure, could they find the answer to the most mysterious question of it all:
Can a praying mantis have a happy ending?
