The Great Green Island

Meet adventurous Ali, a nature-loving girl with a mystery to solve on an island that is much more than it seems. Because this small island holds a big secret. A magical secret in the shape of a Great Green Crocodile . . .

Ali lives with her Dad on a beautiful island with a busy fishing village. So busy in fact that, no matter how hard she tries, Ali can never persuade anyone to stop what they are doing and come exploring with her. That is until the morning everyone wakes to find ALL the fish have disappeared. Every. Last. One.
Who – or what - could have taken them?

Funny, richly detailed and deeply atmospheric, The Great Green Island weaves magic, mystery and adventure with the joy of the natural world, reminding us all to stop and experience the true wonder that surrounds us - and to do it together! Inspiring and imaginative, this is a tale that will make you see magic.
