The Hills Kids
Author(s): Gareth Vanderhope
In Australia’s Dandenong Ranges, four friends—underdog Archie with spiky hair, sharp- witted Pippa with acrobatic flair, goofball Ollie who loves baking strudel and a scruffy dog Kimba with a thing for white poodles—are on a mission to solve a ginormous problem.
Nothing can stop the hills kids on their adventure of mystery and madness!
Winter: After a wild billycart race down a treacherous mountain road, Archie reveals a problem to his friends. Together, they set off on an adventure to make things right.
Spring: When the hills kids’ plans are foiled by some tricky chickens, the friends head to the forest for answers. There, they discover a mysterious creature, a secret tunnel and an adventure wonderland.
Summer: On a night-time fishing adventure, Archie and Pippa get a huge surprise that leads to more problems. Following a close encounter with a bushfire, Archie and his friends discover that kindness is the best medicine.
Autumn: Chestnut season brings fresh opportunities for The Hills Kids. However, to achieve their dreams and solve Archie’s problem, they must overcome a series of diabolical challenges. All hopes rest on their pizazzy roadside stall and a comical encounter with some lively Italian tourists.
