“Wild, racing, intriguing, addictive — Alex and the Alpacas Save the World is all of these things and more.” Kids Book Review

Alex thought she’d saved the world last summer. Turns out, she was wrong. The sinister forces that threatened her family in Tasmania have arrived in her hometown of Melbourne. With the alpacas and Leeuie by her side, Alex must go head-to-head with an evil that is twice as powerful, twice as dangerous and twice as terrifying as anything she’s faced before.
