Abstract:
Three brothers are supposed to go to a mangrove swamp to take pictures of horseshoe crabs for a school project, but they really just want to have some fun.  They end up having more than just fun - they have the adventure of a lifetime. In this humorous tale full of twists and turns, Alfie, Pacey and Luke discover many mysterious secrets of the swamp: up-close encounters with wildlife big and small, a spooky house and an underground staircase, plastic birds in a future world - and a strange little man with an ingenious plan...Contains extra interactive content, including a free pull-out map, a word-puzzle and a scavenger quiz! Published in partnership with Singapore's National Parks Board (NParks), Secrets of the Swamp is a rollicking kids' adventure story that emphasises the importance of encouraging children's relationships with nature, and our shared responsibility in nurturing the natural environment around us.
