But while building sandcastles on Kuta Beach, the kids unearth a surprising find that dramatically changes their holiday. Curiosity leads them on a dangerous path to an adventure where difficulties lurk around every corner. Secrets Hidden Below takes the reader on an intriguing treasure hunt around an exotic tropical island that includes plenty of rotten-egg gas, a guardian snake and a volcano spirit you definitely, don't want to anger.'

'Zac doesn't believe in ghosts. He's never seen any scientific proof of their existence. Clare is sceptical but open minded to the possibility. She likes the idea of ghosts and fairies, even angels. Luke is convinced they have encountered a ghost at Caves Beach. He is the one who is determined to lead them on a ghost hunt to the old ruined lighthouse on the point. Join the Adamson siblings on their second adventure as they discover a ghost desperate to save her father and another just as determined to see her not succeed. Follow the clues along with Zac, Clare and Luke, as you learn about the shipwrecks that crashed off the NSW South Coast and find a long-lost ship's manifest, a lighthouse keeper's journal and all the secrets within a lighthouse lost in time.'

'In the drought-stricken present the only hope is buried in the past.
'Devastated by the effects of the drought on the family farm, Zac has a plan. Along with his siblings, Clare and Luke the trio head off in search of fossils.
'Not heeding weather warnings they must seek shelter fast when two cyclones merge to descend upon them. After the storm their environment is strangely different. A lush rainforest canopy now shelters them and the homestead is nowhere in sight. Will they find the proof they need to save the farm or have they discovered much more than they ever thought possible?'
