The Shearing Shed Monster

By Ash McNair

Something strange is living in the old shearing shed at the edge of town.

Jax, Maya and Arlo have the perfect dirt track - until a terrifying noise starts coming from the abandoned shearing shed nearby. It sounds like a furious goose fighting a lawnmower inside a tin can. Even worse, Principal Sterling has decided the whole area is unsafe. By Friday, a heavy fence will go up, and their track will be gone forever.

There's only one thing to do: catch the monster.

Armed with steel tent pegs, a massive extension lead, a giant camping torch, and a slightly overpowered plan, the three friends set out to save their summer. But the closer they get to the shed, the more confusing the clues become. Why does the Principal keep showing up in a neon tracksuit? And why does the monster sound like it's practising scales?

A funny, heart-warming Australian adventure about friendship, courage, and the surprising things that can hide in an old shed.

Perfect for readers aged 6-9 who love mystery, laughter, and outdoor adventure.
