Rose lives in the big city. But one day her life changes forever...

Rose, her twin sister Penny and their brother Peter find themselves swept away into a great adventure, sailing the blue Pacific to a mission school deep in the jungles of Papua.

There they become adventurers and explorers in their own wild kingdom. They swim and fish in the rivers and make huts and gardens where they grow pineapples, peanuts and bananas. They chase huge emerald and blue butterflies. They run barefoot and free, and imagine themselves as Tarzan and Jane, swinging on vines through the jungle.

But there are hidden dangers lurking: snakes, scorpions, jerry-wars, malaria - and in the rivers, fearsome crocodiles...

Here in the jungles of Papua, New Guinea the readers of The Barn Chronicles will meet their favourite characters again in a different time, a different place. This is where their adventures first began.
