AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR Maxie, Fergie, Flash and Lady are good friends who live in Mrs Brown's farm shed. Life isn't exciting, but they're happy. Until the day they learn that Mrs Brown wants to sell them - to the scrap yard! So they decide to run away: and suddenly life becomes very exciting for the four lovable machines in a series of madcap adventures that will change everything.

This is an exciting, funny chapter book, with warm and interesting characters who just happen to be machines! With lively, appealing illustrations by Cheryl Orsini, Four On the Run is a fresh and original adventure which is great both for reading aloud to pre-literate children and for young readers to read for themselves.
