Beaglier Books Elastic Island Port Mugaloo

The second in an exciting series of books for children, an action-adventure set in the South Pacific, optioned for film/TV development! Four children, Kiri, Jed, and twins Emma and Ethan, discover an ‘elastic’ island that can send them pinging across the ocean to a variety of tropical island destinations. Their last destination spelt trouble, so this time the children are determined to have a relaxed and safe time when they visit Port Mugaloo on MugaMuga Island. But Ethan falls into a pond and becomes invisible – and the only one who can help them is King Shiny. But King Shiny has gone missing looking for the long-lost royal treasure, so they enlist the help of Mrs Quokka and travel across the desert on a seven-humped camel into very dangerous territory to find him. But have the children made a mistake in trusting Mrs Quokka? They soon learn that quokkas might be famous for their ‘quokka logic’ but mostly it doesn’t make any sense! This is the second in a new series for children 8 – 12 years old publishing in NZ, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, with book three due in September 2019. The book series has been optioned by a movie producer who is in the initial stages of developing the first book into a feature film. Elastic Island Adventures is an exciting, original series, with a slightly retro feel. It features a delightful platypus in the first book, and a family of quokkas in the second book – so quirky Australian characters/animals are part of the action. Paperback 135mm x 216mm, 192 pages
