Caro Was Here

Whose idea of an adventure is this?

One match, one chance, she thinks. Make it count. Skipping school to lead a group of friends – and enemies – on an adult-free excursion to an island in Sydney Harbour is Caro’s idea of a twelfth birthday outing. Marooned overnight? She can handle that too. But the challenges multiply. They’re not alone on the island, and Caro must save her friends from life-threatening danger
•Contemporary Sydney setting. Goat Island is a real place, as is the rock (featured in the story) where convict Charles Anderson was chained for two years.
