DEVILS IN DANGER

From the beloved author of Wombat Warriors, Mister Cassowary and TurtleTrackers comes another thrilling adventure about Australia's endangered animals.

Eleven-year-old Killarney thinks school is boring. She'd rather be exploring the wilderness around her Tasmanian hometown or helping her hairdresser mum. When strange things start to happen - ear-splitting screams in the dead of night and missing items found under the house - Killarney is too busy solving the mystery to do schoolwork.

Before long, she discovers a Tasmanian devil, denning under the house! When rumours about dangerous devils begin spreading, Killarney is determined to protect her precious visitor. But can she convince an entire town these wild creatures are worth saving?
