Authors: Des Hunt
The Moa Cave (14 page)
Felicity, Petros and Liberty Green—better known as Flea, Pete and Libby—think they’re the luckiest kids on earth. Their artist mum and woodcarver dad have decided to take them sailing around the beautiful Marlborough Sounds for a year! But when Pete sees
Froghopper
, the old boat they’re going to live on, he wonders whether they’ll even last a day.
Will their new life at sea be full of dolphins and great fishing, or will cramped spaces, seasickness and a little sister with the loudest scream on earth be too much for everyone to bear? And anyway—why exactly did Mum and Dad decide to turn them into a family of sea gypsies?
Froghopper
is first of a two-part series of exciting adventures with the Green family.
From one of New Zealand’s best-loved children’s authors, this is the exciting conclusion to the hilarious story of the Green family, which began with
Froghopper
.
Flea, Pete and Libby Green thought they’d caught the paua poachers, but they hadn’t counted on some of the gang still being on the loose. When the Green family sail to D’Urville Island to visit their friends the Crowleys, strange things start to happen. It seems as though someone wants them to change their story—and they’re prepared to do just about anything to make the Greens agree.
The Crowleys are keen to help the Greens find out what’s going on, and their son Haven soon makes friends with Flea. Sailing in the Marlborough Sounds has suddenly become a lot more fun…and a lot more dangerous!
