Review
Imagine your whole life being turned upside and everything that you have ever known about your family not being true...
Joe, Fin and April find themselves in exactly this situation, when they discover their palaeontologist mother may not be as meek and mild as they think.
They find themselves living in the country town of Currawong with their meek, mild and scared Dad, who they haven’t seen in a very long time. Life here is completely different to their life in the city, and fitting in is not easy.
The town’s obsession with the upcoming cockroach race is something that they just do not understand, but they soon find themselves caught up in the middle of the whole thing, in particular the mystery of who is killing all the cockroaches.
This is a fabulous new mystery series from the author of Friday Barnes, that is full of interesting and unique characters. Each of the Peski kids have their own distinct personalities, and readers 8+ will be eagerly awaiting their next adventure.
