A Melbourne adventure tale for middle grade readers

Don’t you hate the feeling when your smelly old dog follows you on a school excursion to the city, only to get captured by criminals?
At least there’s treasure to be found. Ned Kelly’s lost jewel has magical healing powers, but a soul-eating phantom will hunt you down if you lay a hand on it.

Can friends Zeek, Raff, Moo and Loafer find the prize, save the day and get mega rich without their teacher noticing the huge pile of dog mess on the floor?

Together they’re the Smelly Gang. And they’re not as stinky as you think.

Except Loafer. He truly reeks.
