Authors Margaret Mittelbach and Michael Crewdson take off with renowned artist Alexis Rockman on a post modern safari.
Packing an off-kilter sense of humour and keen scientific minds, their mission is to track down the elusive Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger - once the world's largest carnivorous marsupial. Tragically, this rare animal was hunted into extinction in the early twentieth century. Or was it?
Journeying to the wilder corners of Tasmania, these young naturalists brave a series of bizarre misadventures and uproarious wildlife encounters in their obsessive search for the long-lost beast.
