Underwood's other works, like 'The quiet book,' are also fantastic—she really knows how to connect with kids.
What I love about her writing is how playful yet meaningful it is. 'The Panda Problem' isn't just funny; it subtly teaches kids about narrative structure and creativity.

By chance they meet again and the bond is as strong as ever. Lucas is stubborn, slow to forgive and Rylee is afraid of loving him.
Follow their story as they get pulled together by their bond but pushed apart by their actions as Lucas tries to lead his lair and protect his family.
“See how easy it is to excite you,” I said as my fingers pushed inside her. Her whole body stiffened as she looked at me.
“I don't love you Rylee and I wouldn't fuck you even if you begged for it,” I said.
Her hand made contact with my cheek as she slapped me as hard as she could and it stung a little as she pushed herself up and away from me.
“I fucking hate you,” she said coldly and walked over to the bed.
“You hate me? I hate you back!” I yelled at her.
“You expect me to believe your story but you won't believe mine?” she said angrily.
“You can't even remember what the fuck you did that night, I saw you coming out of that bathroom with him following you! Can you honestly tell me you remember what you did in there?” I yelled.
“I know myself and I wouldn't sleep with some random stranger,” she said as she looked at me.
“Except that you did."
All I wanted was a one-night stand with a random guy, just to get back at my boyfriend, who had insulted me for never being able to feel anything with him.
So, I left Brooklyn with my best friend, Ashley, to spend spring break in Cabo. The deal was simple: have fun like a normal young adult and hook up with any guy... just to prove a point.
I ended up in the bed of a man with the most mesmerizing eyes I’d ever seen—a man I knew absolutely nothing about.
He pleased me in ways I didn’t think were possible.
Every touch, every kiss, every whispered brush of his hands against my skin ignited a hunger I never knew I had.
But when I woke up the next morning, the stranger was gone. I thought it was just a forgotten one-night stand, someone I’d never see again.
Until I found out he was my new statistics professor.
It was supposed to be one meaningless night, but now I crave him in ways I never knew were possible.
Even knowing he could be my downfall, I still want him.
Still crave him.
Still want him to ruin me in whatever way he desires.
