About the book

Cam and Sophie want to see a platypus in the wild. But with the rain tipping down and the river turning wild, they can’t see a thing. Until suddenly, they can. A platypus is just below them and it needs help! But when their rescue attempt goes horribly wrong, it’s not just the platypus that needs saving.
