The life cycle of cicadas told beautifully through an exciting story set in the Australian bush.

On a hot summer's day, deep in the Australian bush, two cicada nymphs hatch and embark on an adventure of survival, friendship, and resilience. After burrowing underground to escape a hungry wasp, the pair reemerge after seven years to find that more danger awaits. Can the two friends overcome the challenges they face, through the power of loyalty and support, and finally find a safe place to call home? This is a journey filled with suspense, heart-warming adventure, and beautifully designed illustrations that also teaches children the life cycle of this wonderous insect.
