Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rainforest Family and Those Terrible Toads takes place in Australia's Lamington National Park. Two children named Alec and Philippa become lost in the park's rainforest, but are soon comforted by an extremely small Koori warrior named Wargunya. He tells them a story about the time the rainforest was invaded by a tribe of cane toads led by the toad king, Bufo; and how Wargunya tried to trick some animals into scaring the toads away. His first efforts fail, so the small warrior consults a wise koala called Klyma, who advises him with a better plan. This time Wargunya enlists all of the animals in a common goal: Get rid of Those Terrible Toads! The plan succeeds and the cane toads are vanquished. The children are then found by their parents, just before the warrior is about to tell them how he became so tiny. Alec and Philippa excitedly tell all about their adventure, but their parents don't believe them. As the family exits the rainforest, Wargunya sadly watches his new friends leave. In this first book of a series, Wargunya got rid of a load of toads. Watch for the sequel!
