The adventure continues as the McWaid family search for the patriarch of the family, John McWaid. Unfortunately they are not the only ones who are looking for him. Conrad Burke, the man who was partly responsible for John's imprisonment in Book 1, is still working for the 'crooked' Irish chief inspector and is in Echuca telling the locals that he is doing a newspaper report. Not only that, he also tells them that the red headed John McWaid is a dangerous criminal and must be found which riles up many of the locals.If you have read Book 1 (Escape to Murray River) you will know that John McWaid is totally innocent of the crime and that his wife and three children would very much like to be reunited with him again.In this story, once again, Patrick, the middle child and eldest son, is right in the midst of all that is happening. He learns a valuable lesson about the importance of telling the truth early on when he breaks one of the Old Man's (Captain) maps. When the Old Man allows them to use his cabin to get away from the mobs, Becky comes in contact with a tiger snake! Will she survive?As well as searching for John, the family also continue to wonder if their grandfather is still alive and around these parts. Patrick continues to carry the letter that his father wrote to his grandfather, also named Patrick, with him.Please note that this book does NOT have an ending as such. One part of the 'mystery' & the adventure some of the characters get involved in albeit involuntarily, is solved but it definitely leaves you eager to read the next one! As a family we are LOVING this series. The content is clean in that there is no bad language or inappropriate adult scenes and the story is Christian based. There are guns and plenty of action involved though so hang on to your seats for the ride and enjoy!
I love Rober Elmer's books aabout Denmark, World war 2 and children's involvement and thisAustrailian series, a land people were banished to from Ireland, etc. Great for both kids and adults.
