A NEW illustrated adventure series created by Australian Cricket Captain Pat Cummins, Dave Hartley and Serena Geddes!
I'm Pat Cummins and I love playing cricket. I love it so much that I sleep with my bat!
I'm in a great cricket team with my best mates Prav and Beth, and we're all really keen to know who our team's cricket CAPTAIN will be.
But on our way to practise, something HUGE happened. We were bike racing through the bush when we came across bulldozers knocking down a section of trees where KOALAs live. We couldn't believe our eyes! We have LOTS to find out, like ...
-Who is behind this DISASTER
-What HAPPENED to the koalas
-How can we make sure they are SAFE...
-AND have somewhere to live
If you want to know the answers to these questions, too - READ THIS BOOK!
