New Boys' Bush Rescue

At 86, Fr James Tierney is sure this will be the last in his popular Bush Boys series - not just because of his age, but because this fifth one summarises and wraps up all the catechetical themes he has been so skilfully weaving into his page turning adventures. Congratulations Fr Tierney!

Some details -

- Heroes for this final Bush Boys adventure are Jack, Jim & Joe Lawson, "the new boys in the bush", together with cousins Simon & Dominic Cox, plus John Cumberland.

- A massive Search & Rescue is needed for Lennie, Bottle & Briny who have failed to return from an overnight camp.

- All characters are in the earlier books in the Bush Boys series.

Accolades for the earlier books are quite applicable:

"The book feels like it's alive."  "It made me feel I was there." "I'd love to have those boys as my friends."
