Endeavour Island
Year Published: 2024
Fifteen-year old Carmen and her younger brother are high school students and part-time Navy Cadets who join with a group of friends and parents for a holiday camping trip to Endeavour Island. The island is a lush, tropical paradise in the Coral Sea off the coast of Far North Queensland- a place of stunning beauty and, unknown to them, of deadly secrets.
Expecting a fun-filled and relaxing time they meet instead temptations and challenges to their character and integrity; are faced with hard decisions on morals and attitudes as they navigate the choppy seas of relationships; and are then faced with a life and death situation which requires them to use all their skills, courage and character to survive.
As they face these perils they are forced to confront their deepest fears and while doing so learn much about themselves as they make hard choices in the struggles to stay alive and to be true to themselves.
This is a Navy Cadet adventure which begins in Cairns, where brother and sister both attend high school, and then moves to Endeavour Island.
Join with Carmen, Andrew, and their friends on an unforgettable adventure where the stakes are high, the lessons hard and survival isn’t guaranteed. This is a coming-of-age story with some sexual references and violence and is not suitable for Primary School.
