Synopsis

Secrets Hidden Below, the Adamson Adventures 1 is the first in a series of thrilling action adventure chapter books for children aged 7 - 12 years. Set among humid rice fields, makeshift stalls selling sarongs and batiks, mysterious caves, exotic temples and dangerous volcanoes that form the exotic island of Bali, three siblings follow clues in search of hidden pirate treasure. Using their Australian school based knowledge of Indonesian language the trio embark on a thrilling and dangerous expedition around Bali. All the while a mysterious stranger lurks in the shadows. Along the journey the siblings discover much of the islands history and culture while resolving the clues and much sibling rivalry that is imminent among families with differing ideas and opinions. Using their problem solving skills, the kids follow the trail from Kuta Beach to Tanah Lot Temple, Ubud and finally Mt Batur volcano.

The Adamson family are set for a surfing holiday in Bali they'll never forget. Dad wants to surf all day and Mum wants to shop. Eldest sibling, Zac, is eager to explore a sunken WW2 shipwreck. Youngest sibling, Luke, is keen to cause mischief wherever he goes. Clare, the long suffering middle child, just wants to stay out of trouble. While building sandcastles on Kuta Beach, the siblings 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 not want to anger.

Secrets Hidden Below was shortlisted in the Australian Speech Pathology Book of the Year Awards 2019.
