Excerpt One:
‘Oh ho! Bon voyage, boys!’ said Rodonga.
A crack appeared between the jelly and Rodonga’s shell above Zoom and Stephen. Clear ocean water gushed in as the gap widened, soaking the two birds in refreshing cool water. Zoom and Stephen flicked their wings. They could breathe and talk just like normal inside their breathing bubbles.
The current swallowed them and carried them several metres away from Rodonga. The two birds flipped and twisted playfully in the water, before pausing and facing Rodonga. They treaded water and waved at Rodonga as they shouted, ‘Bon Voyage, Rodonga!’ before flapping their wings and turning east.
Rodonga brought her shell back to reattach to the clear jelly. When she had flushed the salty water from inside the shell, she began to slowly pull her head back towards the curved part of the shell where she hid. Then Rodonga remembered something.
‘Oh ho!’ Rodonga whirred. ‘I forgot to tell those feathered lads that the little jungah was here this morning, looking for ‘em again.’
Rodonga peered through the clear jelly to look for Zoom and Stephen, but they had already swum away.
‘Oh ho!’ said Rodonga as she disappeared into her shell. ‘Too late now.’ Rodonga smiled to herself, thinking how an adventure is not an adventure without a little bit of excitement sprinkled here and there.
