Robert runs / Mariah Sweetman

Goupong, his little sister Dot and his best friend Jonathan are from the Ugarapul tribe of the Green Tree Frog. They live within the tough confines of the Deebing Creek Mission - a place run by the evil Boss Man. The boys are focused on winning the mission's biggest race but when mysterious noises and unexplained occurrences begin to plague the local area they are forced to investigate. Cleverly weaving fact with fiction, Robert Runs takes the reader on a taut fast-paced journey culminating in the Deebing Creek Massacre - the story of the author's great-great grandfather, Robert 'Goupong' Anderson, who was once the fastest man in Australia. Will the boys be strong enough to defeat the monsters or are the real monsters closer to home?.
