Rex Ryder And Blackwater Creek

The cyclone is over. The real danger is only just beginning. When a Category Five cyclone tears across Far North Queensland, fourteen-year-old Rex Ryder thinks the worst has passed. He's wrong. Deep inside a flooded mangrove creek, an emergency beacon starts transmitting a desperate signal. A family is trapped aboard a sinking boat.

The floodwaters are rising. And enormous saltwater crocodiles are already closing in. With roads cut off, helicopters grounded and time running out, Rex and his father take a small tin boat into one of Australia's most dangerous wilderness environments. Every bend in the creek hides another threat.

Every decision could mean the difference between life and death. To save the family, Rex will need courage, quick thinking, and everything his dad has spent a lifetime teaching him. Because in crocodile country, nature always has the final say.
