Jewel Lagoon by Karen Mcmillan
A fantasy action-adventure set in the South Pacific
Four children, Kiri, Jed, and twins Emma and Ethan, discover an 'elastic' island that can send them pinging across the ocean to a variety of tropical island destinations. Landing at Jewel Lagoon on Trinity Island, the children quickly find themselves in trouble. But even with help from the colourful creatures they meet-Pangali the Platypus, Olaf the Giant, and Big Wig and Wee Wig Knockulous-will they be able to return home safely?
The first in a new series for children 7-12 called Elastic Island Adventures.
