Set in country Australia we are given a birds eye view of our rugged, beautiful, harsh landscape. The book brings all the problems facing our country to the forefront through the eyes of our native animals. Drought, introduced species and entitled humans are causing chaos for many parts of Australia and the authors do a wonderful job of educating and encouraging conversations.

I loved that every place in this book is real, you could go and visit it, the animals aren't the usual kangaroo or koala, we meet a platypus, pelicans, seagulls are heroes. The animals have such wonderful and distinct personalities that it makes you care for them. You will look at seagulls different after reading this book. We are shown the family dynamics of the different animals; Seals for example, won't leave an area until their entire group is together and ready to go. We are shown how important water is, how strong and resilient animals are. Frogs that dig themselves a hole and wait for the rain, how the all of the aspects of the ecosystem rely on each other, and when one part is taken away everything is out of whack.

This book delivers so much in a humorous way. It's fast paced, it's quirky and clever. There are spy frogs (the term infrognito is used often), a bee eating bird who becomes best friends with a bee and a sweet girl who embarks on a massive mission and makes friends along the way.

This book is an absolute gem and I can't wait to see it in schools all over Australia. It's a book I finished and straight away wanted to pass on to kids everywhere. It's an important, well written book, that I hope people all over the world will discover.
