Boysadventure Stories

Set in a Sydney private school, in 1979, a group of twelve -year-old boys band together to plan an audacious lunchtime escape, right under the noses of their authoritarian teachers. And their objective? To scoff down a Big Mac at their local McDonald's. Inspired by Paul Brickhill's classic novel of a similar name - together with the 1963 movie - "The Great-ish Escape" is a story of mateship, cunning, daring and gluttony. All the events are based on what actually happened in author's imagination when he was a wee lad. If asked, the school would deny that the escape ever happened.

In this thrilling adventure, Rick and Scotty travel up to Hudson Bay as guests of the Canadian Wildlife Service to test Rick's new tracking collar system on the famed Hudson Bay area polar bears. Strange events begin to plague the boys even before they leave New Jersey, and once in Canada they are shadowed at every turn by the mysterious La Mort Rouge, the inexplicable 'Red Death', resulting in an outcome so unexpected, so beyond the scope of their imaginations, that the boys must summon every last ounce of their courage and resolve to master it. This adventure takes place in 1947 during the Christmas holidays in the ferocious subzero weather of the Far North.

Two boys sneak into the woods during a school trip, hoping to find a secret passage or cave where treasure is hidden. But some things are hidden for a reason. And not everything should be found.
