Self-confessed wildlife warrior, Clare, is desperate to find Zoe before any harm can come to her.

Along their journey, the kids encounter many fascinating animals and birds, native to the Australian bush. However, when Dad is injured and unable to continue, their undertaking suddenly takes on a far more frantic resolve.

'The Adamson family are not the only ones both eager and curious to join in the hunt. Not only is a university team out to capture this strangely unique creature, but who is the cave dwelling hermit and why is there a team of angry men chasing them all through the bush? All will be revealed in Zac, Clare, and Luke's final adventure.' (Publication summary) 

'Pittering, pattering, plink, plonk, plop.

Dribbling, drizzling, drip, drap, drop.

Rattling, roaring, thrash and thrumming.

Can you hear the dragons drumming?

'Kids will delight in the noises of the rain and thunder as their imaginations lead them to a world of magical dragons playing percussion in the sky.

Dragons Drumming is a beautifully illustrated picture book perfect for toddlers, pre-schoolers and the early school years that will help alleviate the fear of thunderstorms.' (Publication summary)

'In the drought-stricken present the only hope is buried in the past.

'Devastated by the effects of the drought on the family farm, Zac has a plan. Along with his siblings, Clare and Luke the trio head off in search of fossils.

'Not heeding weather warnings they must seek shelter fast when two cyclones merge to descend upon them. After the storm their environment is strangely different. A lush rainforest canopy now shelters them and the homestead is nowhere in sight. Will they find the proof they need to save the farm or have they discovered much more than they ever thought possible?'
