Rick Wilkinson2000

'Run! Both of you, run. Get away from here and hide.' Narina's voice was shrill above the savage growls of the invading warrigals. Bala hesistated. He was terrified of the wild dogs, but desperate to help his mother defend their home.' In this exciting sequel to The Ancient Secret, Bala and Pipinya, the water-rats, find their happy world torn apart when vicious wild dogs go on the rampage. Worse still, The Great Snake Mamaragan is abroad again. Bala and Pipinya, with Japara and Wahn, must return the Stones of Fire to their rightful home - there is no time to lose. As they journey through the Australian outback, they discover friendship in the most unexpected places, but they also learn that you should never underestimate your enemy. This is a magical story about faith and trust, and finding the answer to a mystery as old as time. The first Stones of Fire book is The Ancient Secret.
