'They're the most dangerous birds in the world.' When Flynn and Dad arrive at Grandad Barney's banana farm, it's clear that Flynn has a lot of investigating to do. Everything in the place is a mystery, especially his grandad who died almost a year ago, and the strange dinosaur-like birds called cassowaries that make his dad so scared. Why won't Dad tell Flynn what happened? After Flynn meets local girl Abby and discovers two orphaned baby cassowaries, the mystery deepens. Can Flynn find out the truth about his grandad and the cassowaries before it's too late?

Biography/History:
Samantha Wheeler lives in Brisbane, with her husband, two daughters, two dogs, a cat and a horse. Her love of animals began with her pet tortoise in Africa at the age of five. After a varied career, involving dairy farmers and teaching, Samantha took up writing in 2009. Her first children's book, Smooch & Rose, was shortlisted for 2014 Queensland Literary Awards and 2014 Readings Children's Book and was inspired by her concern for Queensland's koalas. Her second book, Spud & Charli, was imagined while riding her horse Oscar through the bush. Mister Cassowary began as a science project for one of her students. After discovering how few of these magnificent birds remained in the wild, the project soon developed into her third book.
