Several things happen on the eve of the long weekend:  Jars Kelly and her cousin Snook are accused of stealing some valuable gem stones from the local jewelers; strange lights are seen hovering above their town, Cray Bay; and the bumbling Quenton Quigley stumbles across a riddle that could lead them to a hidden treasure. 

To find out what the riddle means, an adventure full of mystery, excitement and intrigue, plus lots of twists and turns, begins. It all takes place in a dense Tasmanian rain forest where Jars and Snook accidently meet an old Chinese prospector called Wu Han who has a secret, the secret of the riddle.

That’s when the fun begins. There is a race between their old enemies the Grimshaws, the smelly visitors from outer space known as The Collectors and the Kelly kids.  

Why are The Collectors lurking in the forest and why is Wu Han so afraid of them? Who will be the first to solve the riddle and find the treasure? Why is their Headmaster in for a big surprise when school resumes after the long weekend?All Rights Reserved

Gods of Garran by Meredithskye

--Only an ancient power can fight an alien race.-- Once the Borrai, the Gods of Garran, walked among the people, taming the wind and the fiery mountains. Then invaders came from the sky and killed the gods--destroying all who opposed them. A hundred years have passed since the Invaders came from the sky--an advanced alien race known as the Chanden. Now, having suffered many grievances at the hand of the aliens, the tribesmen rise up to find the god-stones and revive the ancient powers of the Borrai--and reclaim their world. As a son of the clan chieftain, Morrhan can't do anything right. His father disapproves of everything he does. When his father decides to seek revenge on the technologically advanced Chanden, once again Moorhen finds himself in opposition to his father. The fate of his tribe hangs in the balance. Should Moorhen follow his conscience-or his father? Meanwhile, when the Chanden learn of the search for the god-stones, they send a spy to infiltrate the Garrans--a young woman named Asta, who has her own reasons for hating the Garrans. She begins to realize that they are dealing with a real power and not a superstition when they get close to finding the god-stones. Could the Chanden be in the wrong? ________ This novel is complete here on Wattpad.
