Tracks in the Mist
The Adamson Adventures
Book 4
Deep in the wilderness there’s much more to discover than ever anticipated.
When there are strange bird sightings in Southern Tasmania, it’s no coincidence that Luke, Clare, and Zac learn from Uncle Tom that their mysterious beloved farm pet, Zoe, has gone missing. Eager to rescue the missing bird, the kids have a struggle on their hands to convince their mother to allow them to follow their hearts and travel to Tasmania to begin their quest.
The Adamson siblings finally embark on a new marvellous and thrilling adventure to rescue the unusual bird. Self-confessed wildlife warrior, Clare, is desperate to find Zoe before any harm can come to her. Devastated that she is missing, Luke will rush ahead as usual, forgetting to consider any consequences while Zac is determined to keep his promise to their mother that this time he will keep them both safe from harm at all costs. Along their journey, the kids encounter many fascinating animals and birds, native to the Australian bush. However, when Dad is injured and unable to continue, their undertaking suddenly takes on a far more frantic resolve.
The Adamson family are not the only ones both eager and curious to join in the hunt. Not only is a university team out to capture this strangely unique creature, but who is the cave dwelling hermit and why is there a team of angry men chasing them all through the bush? All will be revealed in Zac, Clare, and Luke’s final adventure.
Tracks in the Mist is the fourth book in the award-winning Adamson Adventure series. It is a middle grade chapter book suitable for ages 7 -12 years.

Reviews
Ashliegh Meikle - The Book Muse
This final book is the culmination of all the adventures, the one that is closer to home than the others, but at the same time, no less dangerous. It highlights the vast array of knowledge we have about the world but also the gaps we have in our knowledge – for a whole range of reasons, depending on the area you’re looking at. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, and think this is the perfect way for it to end, and for Zoe and the Adamson siblings to go off into the sunset.

Have you heard about wombats cube-shaped poo? When we visited Tasmania I finally saw it for myself!
Tracks in the Mist is a rollicking tale following siblings Luke, Clare and Zac Adamson as they try to rescue their strange but much loved pet bird Zoe from the Tasmanian wilderness, and from the scientists and less savoury characters who want to find her first!
Overall, it's a fun read that balances accessibility and complexity to appeal to reluctant readers and build literacy and knowledge, all within a suspenseful, fun adventure.

Captivating and perilous, with clever twists, turns and humour thrown in, too, Tracks in the Mist is a suspenseful yet thoughtful book that is sure to encourage future wildlife heroes. A highly recommended read to add to your Adamson Adventures collection.
The Book Tree
A fast paced, gripping tale of the race to save not just one, but two species that are supposed to be extinct (but are they?), this story will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This is my first Adamson Adventure and although it can be read as a stand alone, I’m going back to read the first three in the series. I’m hooked!
Carmela Dutra
Once you start reading about the Adamson siblings, Luke, Clare, and Zac, you’ll instantly find yourself immersed in the untamed terrain of Australia. Even without visiting Australia, her descriptive writing brings the landscape to life through the perspectives of Luke, Clare, and Zac. If your child is aged 7-12 and enjoys mystery and adventure, they will love Tracks in the Mist, the final book in the renowned Adamson series.
Aleesah Darlison
Bennett’s descriptive writing brings this story alive and her passion for and knowledge of the animals in the story are clear by how lovingly she curates the special animal species to appear in the book. Explanatory notes about the featured animals are included at the back of the book. ‘Tracks in the Mist’ is perfect for nature lovers, animal lovers, and young readers who enjoy adventure stories that contain plenty of twists at turns. Suits readers aged 8 plus.

This is the first of this series I’ve read but I definitely enjoyed it, and think your readers would as well, especially those who like a combination of adventure, mystery and family.
