5. A Whale of a Time by Chris Kunz. Bindi takes a pair of troublesome English twins out for a whale-watching trip of a lifetime. But when one of the twins spots an emergency flare, they race to the scene of a boating accident, only to notice an oil spill, which may jeopardise marine life for hundreds of kilometres!

6. Roar! by Jess Black. Bindi, Robert and Terri Irwin are on their way to Sumatra to collect three gorgeous tiger cubs to take back with them to Australia Zoo. Soon after they are introduced to the mischievous trio, Bindi and her new friend Madi get involved in tracking down a nefarious gang of tiger poachers.

7. Croc Capers by Chris Kunz. The Irwins are on their annual crocodile-tagging trip in the Cape York Peninsula, the home of the extraordinary Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. When Bindi and Robert chance upon a campsite set up by a father and daughter behaving like two fish out of water, they set about discovering the real reason behind their trip to the reserve.

8. Surfing with the Turtles by Jess Black. Bindi and her American friend, Kelly, are on a surfing tour in Mexico and the United States. Totally gnarly! Getting to surf with green sea turtles is a complete thrill. But one of their fellow surfers is acting suspiciously, and Bindi realises that he’s got more than beautiful waves on his mind. Be careful of the wipe-out, dude!

A bit more about Bindi

Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998 in Nambour, Queensland, Australia) is the daughter of Terri Irwin and Steve Irwin. She is a child celebrity, who has tried her hand at acting, singing, dancing, and rapping. She follows the same conservationist philosophy as her parents. Her first name comes from the name of her father's favourite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo, and her middle name Sue is from the family's dog Sui. Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means little girl according to her father.

Bindi's television career started when she was 2. She appeared regularly in her father's television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and she also appeared in the 2002 Wiggles film, Wiggly Safari. Bindi was the presenter of a 26-part wildlife documentary kids show called Bindi the Jungle Girl. Her father Steve was in many of the early shows before his death in 2006, when production was temporarily put on hold.

Bindi hosted a special about her father called My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She also starred in Bindi Kidfitness, a child fitness DVD in which she sang and danced. She made a hip-hop album called Trouble In The Jungle. She is currently learning how to play the piano. She is homeschooled and creative writing is her favourite subject, maths is her least favourite. Bindi commits 10% of her income to Wildlife Warriors, the charity founded by her family in 2002. She will star as Kirra in Free Willy 4: Escape from Pirate's Cove which is due to be released in 2010.
