About Kidnap at Mystery Island
Winner of the 2021 Storylines Tom Fitzgibbon Award – a gripping futuristic, kidnap adventure story
Set in a time after the great global Environment Revolution of 2072, readers enter a high-tech world of eco criminals, artificial islands, global warming, rising seas and patrolling coastal rangers.
Like other kids of his generation, Dom has a special talent, chosen by his parents at conception. He is a human chameleon – he can blend into any surroundings and become almost invisible. Unfortunately his Anti-Ec dad, Dezi Krate, a mining billionaire set on ignoring the new planet- saving laws, kidnaps the young niece of some coastal rangers, Zoe – special talent mind-reading.
Together with her sisters, who also have remarkable talents, can Zoe and Dom and other key players in this dangerous, futuristic world outwit the ruthless Dezi?
