Helen Menzies – Ducks Crossing and Thunderbolt Island

Ducks Crossing and Thunderbolt Island follows the new adventures of Alison, the Hawk, the twins Meg and Chaz,Lily, and of course, Spike the dog. As in the previous book, the much-loved Ducks Crossing and the Secret Shadow, these adventures take pace in and around the beautiful bays and rivers of the NSW coastline in the 1950s.

This time the crew set sail in their own boat for their own island. Here they come upon a jackaroo with a strange past (and a secret), two mystery men, a girl seaplane pilot, a bushranger’s ghost, the Flying Dutchman, and an emergency that’s life and death for one of the crew.
