The Julie Malloy Gang and the Smugglers

When Julie Malloy is given the wrong briefcase at the checkout counter on leaving a school visit to the Museum, she and her friends are embroiled in a dangerous situation with a gang of smugglers who capture and export Australian wildlife to overseas collectors.  As they struggle with`the mysteries of strange, ancient maps of their city, a secret storage room, the evil Mrs Hodgepodge, a warning in Mandarin Chinese and just what role Julie's parents are playing in the game, they find themselves at serious risk of kidnapping and the loss of everything they hold dear, their friends, their family and their freedom.  But in the process, they learn much about their families and their own extraordinary courage and abilities.  Copies may be acquired by parents and schools through this website or directly from the Rollands Plains Upper Primary School in Rollands Plains, NSW.
