Meet Rowley, a seemingly perfect kid whose world shatters one night. He overhears a shocking secret: his "parents," Frank and Josephine, aren't his real family! Before he can process this, mysterious, armed agents burst in and drag them away. Now, Rowley is on his own, with no one to trust. He cleverly stages a fake robbery, dyes his distinctive red hair, and races against time to catch a train, hoping to evade the agents hunting him. His only lead? A distant relative, Uncle Phil, whose last known address is Canton City. Join Rowley as he navigates bustling city streets, outwits his pursuers, and embarks on a thrilling quest to uncover the truth about his past and find where he truly belongs.

Marr, the acclaimed children's author, has just launched her exciting new Rowley Dennison's Adventure Series, beginning with Rowley's Dream.

Inspired by her father's pioneering jazz band, The Cornerhouse Jazz Band, she remains passionate about country music and still performs today. Now residing in Far North Queensland, Julia lives immersed in nature, observing crocodiles and cassowaries near the Daintree rainforest. She dedicates her time to growing a habitat garden for tropical butterflies and working with a non-profit, teaching digital, hospitality, and business skills.
