Two exciting stories in one book! Story-telling at its best, not only are these tales exciting, they are full of Australian bush lore. Highly recommended for any child who enjoys the great Australian outdoors.
Upper Primary (9-12 years)+
In Bush Boys, Peter and John Cumberland from the suburbs enjoy the first week of their spring school holidays with their cousins Greg and Bernie Cumberland at The Hills Of Home in the Wild Bush Mountains.
There is a lot of camping fun - and lots of excitement tangling with a nasty group of older boys, the yahoo cheats...
Peter and John learn lots of bushcraft - and so does the reader.
In Cuthbert Joins the Bush Boys, Cuthbert B. Bishop is nearly kidnapped by crooks demanding a ransom from his rich fater. He is sent into hiding at his cousins, Greg and bernie, for the second week of the spring school holidays.
Pete and John are staying an extra week. They help Greg and Bernie make Cuthbert into a bush boy... The 'bush treatment' at Ducky Pool it Koala Creek works wonders - it always does.
Their younger sisters Jenny and Judy arrive, too, and make a trio with Ket, bernie's young sister.
The five boys have wild adventures camping - and capturing kidnappers. The girls are too young for camping but have their own adventures and play a vital part in the final police round-up.
For adventurous boys and girls!
Both books are now in this one-voume double-adventure:
- 516 action-packed pages;
- short chapter and simple style for easy reading;
- 60 lively illustrations;
- and 2 pages of maps of the Wild Bush Mountains;
- so bushwalk, cook and camp with the Bush Boys yourself;
- with know-how to help plan your own camping;
- including 14 practical pages of camping ideas and pictures.
