About the book

Ten-year-old Flynn still has trouble coming to terms with the bushfire that killed his parents five years ago. His older sister, Alex, and brother, Hood, care for him, but he constantly finds himself in detention at his new school in zO. Flynn already has a reputation as the new kid with a half-decent temper. Everyone at school knows he can kick rubbish bin lids farther than anyone else. But he’s no match for the group of bullies, led by Spike, who threaten to damage his sister’s shop if he doesn’t follow their demands. When their dare costs Flynn his coveted spot on the Dragons football team, little does he know the dangerous chain of events it will set off. For middle-age readers, Gruntz Finding Zo: Koala Boy Flynn and the Firebug! is set in the fantasy world of human-koala creatures called Gruntz and follows Flynn’s epic journey in finding home and the best friend he’d never imagined.
