(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Iain McIntosh. In this latest story about the School Ship Tobermory, students and teachers head to Australia, where they plan to take place in a sailing race. Adventures ensue, including running out of water three days from land, encountering deadly crocodiles, and rescuing a stranded boy. Smith's tone is engaging throughout, and the interplay among the characters feels authentic. McIntosh's expressive pen-and-ink illustrations heighten the drama.
