Koala Roundup

Mission Fox #8

by Justin D'Ath, Heath McKenzie (Illustrator)

"It's not a race!" puffed Harry.

He was wrong, Jordan thought. It was a life and death race.

When a bushfire threatens the Nullambine Koala Sanctuary, Mission Fox is on the case. It's a race against time, but with a little help from doggy friends both old and new, thirty koalas might just have a chance of survival . . .

Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Final in the series of books about Mission Fox does not really have an ending, it could actually continue on, but maybe the author had had enough of the characters. This one is their most dangerous adventure and their mission was revealed so in one sense there was a natural closure to the secrecy, whit was secret is really another of this daft ideas that all these hero type people have to be secret, these blokes were rescuing animals there was no need for secrecy. Anyway all in all a decent series of short fast reads with action aplenty and plenty of educational value about animals of all types. Maybe there will one day be a book nine and beyond?
