    About this ebook

    Jake is a young boy living in a small tropical seaside town called Coconut. On the first morning of Easter school holidays, he goes on a big adventure with a backpack full of hiking gear and a wish to live off the land.
    Along the way, he meets strange people doing strange things as he wanders around town and out into the countryside, where he sees more weird and wonderful things. As the sun goes down, he lights a campfire, and is joined by two aboriginal friends, Ken and Ben. The boys then pitch their tents to make camp together for the night, and all continuing hiking the next day.
    The next day, they enter a magical canyon, a fantasy land that leads them to the ocean, where they make camp at sunset in a hut on a hidden beach. But after they are asleep, an angry giant mud crab with huge claws walks out of the sea towards the hut looking for some tasty morsels to eat.
    What will become of Jake and his two friends?

      Jake's Magical Easter Adventure - J. William Turner

      JAKE’S MAGICAL EASTER ADVENTURE.

      By J. William Turner.

      Copyright 2009.

      Jake is a young boy from Australia who lives in the small tropical town of Coconut. It was the last Thursday night in late-March, and Jake went to bed feeling really happy. Term One at the town’s junior school, Coconut Primary, had just ended. Tomorrow was the first day of the Easter holidays, and he was looking forward to the fun he was going to have.

      I know, I’ll go on a long walk, an Easter adventure, to see the town and all its silly people, he thought, as he rose from his bed, put on his favourite T-shirt and cut-off denim shorts with frayed hems, and found his rucksack in the bottom of the bedroom wardrobe.

But he did not pack any food. He wanted to try living off the land, especially bananas, but eat ‘take-away’ if he could not find any food in the forest. In his pants pocket
