The Magic Island Gang

When an ambitious Zoo Director decides to make his zoo one of the world’s peak tourist experiences, he calls on Sammy Snatch, a ruthless animal smuggler, for help. But Director Deluge doesn’t count on some of Sammy’s victims—the larrikin cockatoo, Jock; the solitary yellow-eyed penguin, Solomon; the revolutionary Liberty Wombat; the larcenous Pilfer Possum; and the Zoo’s poetic star, Chilli Koala—who are not pleased to find themselves in a frosty coastal Zoo a long way from home. Can this unlikely Gang elude the police, zookeepers, security guards, and even the Air Force to find their way home? To return to the tropical island of their dreams, the Gang pulls off an ingenious caper. Their adventure takes a surprising turn when they find themselves with a treasure beyond their wildest imagination. With a gang of criminals with dastardly plans for the Gang hot on their trail, the five friends travel halfway around the world in a desperate attempt to return the treasure to its rightful owner and find a home that offers them the safety and freedom that was taken from them.
