Wildlife advocate BINDI IRWIN, 14, is a cocreator of the new series Bindi Behind the Scenes. The books are based on Bindi's real-life adventures. "I have been extremely lucky to have had so many unforgettable experiences," she told TFK. "I really wanted to share them with everyone." In the first book, The Wildlife Games, Bindi plans a televised contest to raise money for the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Bindi hopes the books will inspire other kids to become wildlife warriors. "Each of us can play a part and make the world a better place," she says. For more, go to timeforkids.com/bindi.
