Relive the magic of Ocean Girl

Ocean Girl was a family-friendly Australian TV show that lasted for four seasons, although only three seasons were shown in the United States. This novel came out after the first season premiered, and it perfectly captures the mystery, excitement and wonder of Ocean Girl. Much of the flavour of the series and its characters has been captured, although translating the magnificent visuals of the Daintree rainforest does not fare as well. Still, author Peter Hepworth makes a brave attempt. An example:"Snow white sands curved out of sight on either side. Beyond the beach great strands of rainforest trees grew thick and tall, their trunks interlaced with vines and creepers. Brilliantly coloured birds flashed from branch to branch and butterflies the size of bread-and-butter plates flitted through the air. They made their way inland, Neri leading the way. Each turn of the track revealed new sights. Dripping clusters of bright tropical flowers. Little marsupials who sat up on their hind legs like tiny kangaroos and watched them pass. Huge emerald tree frogs with golden eyes."Ocean Girl is an excellent companion to an amazing New Age TV series. Neri's story will whisk you away to an isolated island paradise and a mysterious past. Once you start reading this you won't be able to put it down!

Ocean Girl

This is a truly fabulous book. Whether or not you watched the series, you will definitely love it. This was one of the most original, exciting, and all-around best shows in TV history, so if you haven't seen it, you've got problems... but back to the point. I don't want to spoil the plotline for you, so just READ IT! I also hear they are coming out with a movie. Whether or not it will be shown in the US, I don't know, but it'll definitely be a must-see!

Incredible Book

Great book based on the Australian series. I remember the show from the Disney Channel and I was SOOO annoyed that they took it off before I got the chance to see the 4th season. The book follows the series pretty closely, though there are some minor differences, plus the fact that there's an oil spill on the series that wasn't put into the book. I was so happy to be able to find the book!

The Book You Won't Put Down!!!!

"Ocean Girl" is a great book that you will hardly be able to put down. This book allows you to use your imagination while sending a message to the reader to care for people and the environment.
