Synopsis

The complete series of page-turning adventures!

Molly and Michael are a pair of plucky Australian kids who find themselves in Papua New Guinea. Both passionate about science and nature, they explore the jungle and find things that even the adults don't know about. The question is - what will they do with this knowledge?

Book One - The Magical Volcano - Accompanied by a three-meter-long lizard named Ted, Molly and Michael see something in the belly of a volcano. Intrigued, they climb down and find a bright turquoise lake just like the one they found inside the local copper mine. Next, they discover a bizarre collection of plants feeding off the contaminated water. And if that's not strange enough, they encounter some animals living in the jungle inside the volcano. Like the dinosaurs that roamed the earth some 60 million ago, these huge beasts are astonishing. Determined to understand how their existence is possible, Molly and Michael decide to investigate.

Book Two - Jungle Magic - Following their discoveries in the volcano, Molly and Michael decide to collect a water sample from the cave inside the mine. But fate, it seems, has other plans for them. Join their exciting journey through the jungle where they bump into a mad daddy cassowary and stumble through an invisible shield around a top-secret research laboratory owned by the greedy corporation, Symbiotica. Inside, they find something mysterious that will lead them on an even stranger journey, riding the mycelium network under the ground. See the plants and animals through their eyes, hear the curious sounds and discover what it feels like to be in the presence of the most magical being of all - Adali the bird.

Book Three - Adali's Magic - Adali takes Molly and Michael on an incredible journey to another dimension. The birthplace of the guardians. It’s an astonishing and mind-expanding experience that makes the kids more determined than ever to protect the natural environment from further damage. Using their scientific knowledge, and a lot of courage, they enlist the help of their parents and several other adults. Together they collect the evidence they need to stop Symbiotica from causing more damage to the natural environment. But it’s no picnic, for they encounter several obstacles, both terrifying and hilarious, before their triumph.

Book Four - Magic of the Guardians - Molly and Michael only have ten days before school starts. Can they use this time to expose Symbiotica and restore balance to the natural world? Join them as they meet the full Council of Guardians; the magical beings who have been caring for the land since Pangaea first broke up. Discover how these kids combine their super smart science minds with the magic of the guardians to finally defeat Symbiotica. And prepare yourself for the final twist as they discover the secrets behind the strange chemicals, plants and animals created by the company's evil leader - the ghost man!
