Those Snake Island Kids
About this audiobook
When Jake succeeds in persuading his family to embark on a sailing-camping holiday on a
Tasmanian island, he is mostly interested in pirate fantasies and his home-built Optimist
dinghy. But he does not plan on the events which are to leave him alone with his brother
and sister. The children’s idealistic notions are challenged by several less-than-friendly
visitors who introduce some serious concerns. Ultimately, after being forced to dig deep
into their personal reserves, the treasures they all gain from their experiences are rather
different from the ones Jake has set out to find.
