Using Australian vernacular, the stories move at a fast pace, with a tiny lesson hidden in each story. Whether it’s looking after your mates, owning up before you’ve been caught, or not letting your imagination get away with you, each story spins a yarn that will enthral and entertain.
The Mistaken Monster is a wonderful adventure story set in Berry NSW. A thrilling tale with a strong message about friendship, trust and not judging by first appearances.
