AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'From the ancient land of Australia comes this story of a wild community: kangaroos, bush rats, bandicoots, goanna, possums, flying foxes - and the fisherman's dog, Blue. A new settlement brings new strains to the human and the wild communities. The settlers become defensive, and war breaks out between bush rats and bandicoots. Only the worried Ranger, whose territory this is, understands the problem; but only the animals, helped by an ancient magic of the country, can solve it." (Source: Book Jacket)
