Product Description

Join the McWaids on One Last Wild Boat Ride to Danger!

Don't miss Panic at Emu Flat the thrilling conclusion to the popular series, ADVENTURES DOWN UNDER! Patrick McWaid has just turned fourteen but that doesn't mean life has gotten any easier aboard the family's paddle steamer. Take a trip to the other side of the world and you'll learn how crazy life can be for Patrick and his friends.

First, there's a boatload of ostriches. Then there's the possibility that Patrick's father might move the whole family to take a job back in Ireland. On top of that, there's the Bible-quoting Miss Perlmutter with her dozens of mysterious barrels. Finally, there's the fact that Patrick is sure his good friend, Jeff, is hiding a secret.

Determined to uncover the truth, Patrick has a rough altercation with a nasty bully and eventually find himself in real trouble. A hair-raising chase through the corridors of Collingwood Asylum is the climax of Patrick's quest-but will it lead to safety or to even greater danger?
