John Midas in the dream time

John Midas goes to Australia on vacation.He goes to AyersRock to see the Aborigines' paintings, and the tourguide says,"Not to go in the caves".But John does anyway and he gets stuck in the dream time.I like this book because it's a very adventurous book that makes you want to read more. For example, John fights a serpent. If that happened in a book that you were reading would you want to keep reading that book? Read this book to see if John can survive the hot, dry outback. I love this book.
