Crocodile Attack is a short, fast-paced action book that can be read easily within an hour. It is the first book in the Extreme Adventures series.Here's the breakdown:Hook/Setting: The story starts pretty fast, the main character's cousin is kidnapped in a store robbery by page 5. The setting is sweet and simple.Character(s): The main character, Sam Fox, is a believable young boy who is dedicated to protecting his two-year-old niece, Nissa. I like that D'Ath had Nissa speak like a young child actually does, she mixes her Ss up with her Ts.Events/Plot: The plot is fast-paced with one action scene after another. Sam is definitely pushed to his limits as he tries to protect himself and his young cousin.Reader Excitability/Overall Presentation: Some events seem a little far-fetched, but the book is a cliff hanger all the way through. I would recommend this book to children who love adventure stories.Review by N.C., 15-yrs old, [...]
Tropical Cyclone Kandy is 100 miles offshore. Sam Fox, 14, has gone to the general store in Crocodile Bridge, Australia, where his Aunt Erin works, to get his mum some cough sweets as she has the flu. Not many other folks out and about due to the weather but there is a man in the store wearing a black ski cap, dark blue raincoat and wet leather boots. It is not until Sam's two year old cousin, Nissa, says "Bang" that Sam realizes what is going on. Robbery!Hearing the cyclone warning sirens, the robber mistakes the sound for police sirens and grabs Nissa as a hostage before leaving the store! Sam runs out to search and ends up being taken hostage along with Nissa! Driving into the cyclone and into a swollen river the robber soon puts all their lives in danger? Will they all survive? What adventures will they have? Let's just say they will meet a snake, a wild boar and a crocodile mama not to mention facing the weather and water etc.Yes, some of this story is a little far fetched but kids LOVE it so please remember your audience! Although plenty of danger it involved the book is cleanly written and you can give it to your child with confidence. This is the first book in the series.
Crocodile Attack By Jusin D'AthBook Review:Do you remember the town of Crocodile Bridge which had a thirty - five metre fiberglass crocodile which was world famous. It was known as "Big Barry" and he isn't there now of course after that huge cyclone and the following flood.This story is action packed from the beginning for Sam Fox and his cousin Nissa, they are kidnapped by a robber and in the course of the robber's escape, while the cyclone rages the two children , held hostage in the car, get into terrible trouble. The getaway car while trying to escape crashes into the Crocodile River and puts the children at very great danger. The Crocodile River is not named casually. The government protects crocodiles and they have multiplied over the years and are a great danger to anyone who gets thrown in the river or even gets near the river. The story is very tense and the two children are lucky to survive and do so only after Sam pushed himself to the limits of his endurance.Crocodile Attack is well written and the author, Justin D'Ath uses language the readers can take on very easily giving the exciting story a wide appeal. Justin obviously has knowledge of the area used as the locale for the story and this makes the adventure more believable and exciting.This is a 5 star book and will be a favourite with all of those who like action and adventure.Reviewed by Tom Hampstead author of the soon to be published "The Kingdom of the Two Great Houses"
