I did enjoy this book because it was set in Australia, but I thought it had lots of typical stereotypes on different Australian creatures. Like salt water crocodiles were really feared in this book , but they are only aggressive when you prevoke them.

This book was about a girl called Laura Marlin who on a school trip to Australia witnesses a series of unpredictable events even after knowing that her arch-nemesis,Mr A, is safely behind bars.When more mysteries start to appear,Laura begins to connect the dots.My favourite character in this book was Elspeth because even after everything that had happened to her, she persevered and got through it all.I would recommend this book to 10 year old children.

I thought this book was really amazing my favourite person is Laura an it really interested me because it was really really descriptive and detailed about every single character and also I learned a ton of new words such as cacaphony and finally I would recommend this book to people who love love mystery books so actually this book is that book anyone can read it.
