Elwood Farm Friends in Danger

This pair of stories features the adventures of two brave girls-Emily and Sarah-and their brushes with intense, life-threatening danger. In "The Girls and the Gang" Emily Wood can't decide if she is happier here at the farm or if she was happier at her home in Melbourne before the move. It's a good thing her best friend Sarah is able to visit so often. Emily is glad to have her friend around-and glad not to be alone when she and Sarah accidentally stumble upon an outlaw group of smugglers called "the Gang," who land their boat nearby. Together, Emily and Sarah decide to spy on the band of ruffians-a decision they come to regret when they're caught eavesdropping. The only clues to their whereabouts are their horses, both of which escaped during the capture of their riders. Now captives of the angry criminals, Emily and Sarah must escape in order to survive. "The Return of the Gang" continues the adventures of Emily and Sarah as members of the Gang plot their revenge on the two girls. The criminals-now free on a technicality-plan to kidnap the girls and hold them hostage. What will happen to Emily and Sarah if the Gang carries out their plot?
