The Goanna Island Mystery is a book by Australian author, Dale Harcombe, in the Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Read! Read! Read! series. When Mark, the bully at Leo’s new school dares him to cross the sandbar to Goanna Island, he can’t refuse, even though Mark tells him the island is haunted by the ghost of a pirate. Leo sets off to prove he’s not chicken, but is he going to regret his bravado? This mystery, perfect for 5-9 year-olds, involves a scary white face at a window, a secret room, a tunnel and a stolen Tim Tam. It stars a brave and clever boy who is depicted in delightful illustrations by Dillon Naylor. Great fun!
