Drop Dead, Mad Dog Fred

A wacky and wonderful adventure for 8- to 12-year-olds, about a lovable but not very bright wombat farmer, his resourceful daughter Sam and their quest to save the family farm from ruin and restore Sam’s brother Billy to health.
What do you do when your dad has gone out to rob a bank and you know he’ll be caught?
If you’re Sam Tucker, you saddle up your trusty kangaroo and ride out after him.
The trouble is, Fred Tucker isn’t too bright. He thinks a stagecoach is a person who teaches acting. He thinks highway robbery is when you steal a road.
Can Sam pull her dad out of trouble, and rescue the family wombat farm at the same time? And just what are two giant desert pythons, two crocodorpions and a talking dingo doing in this story?
A Jonathan Harlen special – funny, fast, fantastic.
