It is January and the middle of the summer holidays, but Morgan appears to have drawn the short straw.
When work commitments take his parents overseas, just after Christmas, he is left behind on his uncle’s farm. Frustrated and disappointed, he longs to be home in Melbourne. But there is more to Wombat Creek than meets the eye and its secrets are about to be revealed.
Down by the waterside, Morgan encounters a mysterious girl, and is lured into the enchanted but dangerous world of Arkana. For some reason, his sudden appearance in this foreign landscape isn’t entirely unexpected. Although many of the strange inhabitants are overjoyed to see him, others are less enthusiastic, whilst some look upon him with a positively murderous eye. And then there are those, like the wraggles and gibblings, for whom he is nothing more than breakfast…
Morgan had been hungry for adventure – what he’d had in mind, however, hadn’t been quite this wild. For the time being, however, there seems no way back, and before him lies a quest – a quest that will take him and a group of eccentric companions on an epic journey, a roller-coaster ride where laughter and heartache are never far apart. Along the way, Morgan begins to realise that the very future of Arkana may depend on their success, but an unknown enemy is stalking them and always seems to know their plans in advance…
