About Elastic Island Adventures: Plantation Island Resort
The popular children’s book series’ latest episode is set in beautiful Fiji, and Plantation Island Resort has a $5,000 prize package to stay with them!
Kiri, Jed and twins Emma and Ethan frequently journey on ‘elastic island’, a unique way to travel that sends them pinging across the ocean to various South Pacific destinations. This time, they travel with Blong the Cat and Heathcliff the Dog to beautiful Fiji.
When they arrive at Plantation Island Resort, they are surprised to discover Lepani, a small hermit crab, hiding in their room. He has run away from home, is terrified of plastic and doesn’t want to be a crab anymore. The children are determined to reunite him with his family, but it seems they will first have to allow him to enjoy the ‘day life’ with them. But they soon discover that he is accident-prone, and their biggest challenge will be keeping him alive!
Elastic Island Adventures: Plantation Island is a stand-alone, page-turning adventure in the bestselling series set in the South Pacific. It is perfect for children aged 7 to 12.
Elastic Island Adventures: Plantation Island Resort has been written with thanks to the Plantation Island Resort, Fiji, and Tourism Fiji has read and approved the story.
