When Ashley’s long awaited puppy is snatched from her at the
last moment, her parents send her on holiday to cheer her up. But the trip
isn’t anything like she expected.
Picked up by her eccentric aunt Micky and
driven out beyond mobile range to ‘Toad Hall’, Ashley’s troubles are just
beginning. In a matter of hours she is facing a furious storm, a flooded creek
and an electrical blackout – not to mention a koala emergency.
Ashley manages to save an injured mother koala and her joey,
Dexter, who have been knocked from their tree. But the storm has cut off the
only access road to the property, and the koalas desperately need help. Ashley
and Dexter must be braver than they have ever imagined to find a way to safety.
For 8-13 year olds (and anyone who loves koalas), from ABC Books.
