LIZZY & TOM: A CATTLE DOG'S TAIL: Book 1

(A heartfelt middle-grade adventure of courage, loyalty, and the wild Australian bush - For readers ages 8–13)

Hold onto your hats, kids, because Tommy Archer and his legendary Blue Heeler, Lizzy, are about to take you on the wildest ride through the Australian outback! When a massive bushfire threatens their family’s cattle station, 13-year-old Tommy, three exchange students, and a litter of mischievous pups must lead 500 stubborn cows to safety. But this isn’t just a walk in the park—think raging rivers, sneaky dingoes, cranky snakes, and a whole lot of cow chaos!

With Lizzy barking orders like a furry general, Tommy’s crew faces epic adventures and side-splitting mishaps—like Hiro’s drone disasters, Priya’s curry catastrophes, and Cass’s attempts to lasso anything that moves. Will they outsmart the flames? Can Lizzy’s pups stop chewing boots long enough to help?

Packed with heart-pounding action, laugh-out-loud moments, and a dog who’s tougher than a kangaroo in a boxing ring, LIZZY & TOM: A CATTLE DOG’S TAIL is a rip-roaring tale of courage, friendship, and the kind of grit that only comes from chasing cows through a firestorm. Grab your akubra and join the adventure, Lizzy’s waiting, and she doesn’t like to be kept waiting!

Perfect for kids who love animals, adventure, and a good giggle!
