Review
This is a fun, adventure story about George and his quest to get to Big Spills Water World.
His Gran has a plan. She enters George and their old stock horse Bandicoot into a race to celebrate the spirit of the Man From Snowy River that can win him $500 - that will get him to Big Spills Water World! Then her plan almost backfires.
But Gran is a bit of a schemer, and she is not deterred!
George then finds himself on a dangerous mission, trying to rescue three goats! He proves that he really is The Boy From Snowy River.
Your emerging readers, both boys and girls, will enjoy this story.
