Dexter the Courageous Koala Is Suitable for Readers from Year 5 Up, Although Mature, Capable Readers in Years 3 and 4 Will Also Find Much to Enjoy
Dexter The Courageous Koala By Jesse Blackadder Book Summary: Ashley can’t wait to bring home the puppy she’s been promised —but then Dad loses his job, and her parents can’t afford an extra mouth to feed. Heart-broken, Ashley reluctantly goes off to spend the school holidays with an aunt she barely knows—eccentric Micky, who lives in an isolated spot on the north coast of NSW and who cares for injured koalas. Within hours of arriving, the road into Micky’s house is cut off by rising flood waters, then a wild storm brings a blackout and some serious damage to Micky’s house and garden. Worse still, trees from a nearby koala colony have come down in the storm, and Ashley must risk life and limb to save an injured koala and her joey. Curriculum Areas and Key Learning Outcomes: Dexter the Courageous Koala is suitable for readers from Year 5 up, although mature, capable readers in Years 3 and 4 will also find much to enjoy.
