Sam Fox begins this adventure by trying to save his twin
brothers when they are carried away by a hot air balloon. Instead of
rescuing the brothers, he ends up as part of the adventure that includes
an encounter with an extremely poisonous Sydney funnel-web spider. The
excitement builds as one of the brothers is bitten by the spider and Sam is
in a desperate race to save him.
Each chapter brings a new element into the life-or-death adventures of
the boys. A near collision with a bus and then power lines is only the
beginning. The boys end up landing in the Taronga zoo among some of
the most dangerous animals. Will Sam be able to save his brother? 133 pages Ages 11-14
