AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This is the story of seven-year-old Jonah and four-year-old Evie's adventure living on Maatsuyker Island. Jonah and Evie were lucky to be the first children in more than 10 years to live on the island exploring and discovering the 'magic of "Maat"'. They were there from February to May 2010 with their Mum and Dad, Sheryl Hamilton and Al Wiltshire, who were volunteer PWS caretakers as well as Bureau of Meteorology weather observers.

'Jonah and Evie created all the drawings and models in this book while living on Maatsuyker.' (From the publisher's website.)
