From the beloved author of Wombat Warriors, Mister Cassowary and Turtle Trackers comes another thrilling adventure about Australia's endangered animals.

Eleven-year-old Killarney thinks school is boring. She'd much rather be exploring the wilderness around her Tasmanian hometown or helping her hairdresser mum. When strange things start to happen – ear-splitting screams in the dead of night and missing items found under the house – there's even less chance of Killarney doing her schoolwork. She's too busy solving the mystery.

Before long, Killarney discovers the culprit: a wild Tasmanian devil, denning under the house! Killarney is excited, but many of the locals are terrified. When rumours about dangerous devils begin spreading, Killarney is determined to protect her precious visitor. But can she convince an entire town these wild creatures are worth saving?

About the Author

Samantha Wheeler fell in love with animals when, at the age of six, she received a tortoise.

Her books, which include Smooch & Rose, Spud & Charli, Mister Cassowary, Wombat Warriors and Turtle Trackers, have been shortlisted for the Queensland Literary Awards, the Readings Children's Book Prize, The Wilderness Society's Environment Award for Children's Literature, and the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales Whitley Awards.
