When a new family moves into the property next to the Weston farm, suddenly Jo and her beloved dog Billie have a new best friend and netball buddy, Ava. But strange things are happening in Talma Valley...
Farm gates are left open, Jo’s escape-artist cow Moo-dini is on the loose, mountain bikers are going missing – and then... Billie disappears!
Jo and Ava will have to use all their wits to solve the mysteries.
Verity is a shy pre-schooler who always does whatever others tell her. She picks up after her friends, has no say in games, and even plays second fiddle to a drooling baby. But when she is overlooked at her beloved swimming class, Verity realises something needs to change — and discovers the courage to speak up.
Deep in the ocean, far beyond the reach of even the brightest sun, the earth quakes. Hagfish scatter and snailfish flutter. Lava pillows flash and fade, rumpling the seabed as a new volcano births a mountain. Where hot meets cold, a chimney forms. Here begins a colony of unexpected creatures. Other chimneys grow and cool, grow and cool, while the mountain stretches ever upwards. A rumble becomes a roar and the sea boils. Lava fireworks the sky. A new island is born.
These books and many more are available to borrow from the Library.
