AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bailey's Swamp is a lot of things. Beautiful. Secluded. Creepy. It's also thought to be the home of Big Red, a giant and elusive fish, a true legend of the local area. Barney and Liam are determined to find him and catch him. But they're about to discover that there's much more to be found at Bailey's Swamp than some big old fish. In this exhilarating adventure story, James Roy, the author of Captain Mack and Billy Mack's War, will take you on a journey more electrifying than camping in a thunderstorm.' (Publication summary)
