Cockatoo

Fifteen-year-old navy cadet Tina Babcock is in love. But Tina is very shy, inexperienced and unsure of herself. While on a cadet canoe expedition on remote Koombooloomba Dam in the jungles of Far North Queensland, she and her friends encounter a gang of dangerous poachers.

Tina’s life is in peril because of the secrets she now knows. In a desperate struggle to escape, she must use her navy cadet skills and wits to extricate herself from the gang’s clutches. Tina must push herself to the very limits of endurance to give herself a fighting chance of survival... and love.

Cockatoo is suitable for teenage and adult readers with an enjoyment of adventure-spiced romance.
