Marmaduke — Margaret Pearce

Billy and Rusty spill a mysterious red dye on to Billy's white mouse Marmaduke. Immediately the mouse grows very large and runs away. The red liquid has also been spilt into the creek as well. All sorts of animals drink creek water, like horses, dogs, snakes, yabbies and frogs...

Suddenly there are rumors of albino bandicoots and kangaroos and mysterious monsters around the district! There are hunting parties and television news' squads and scared neighbours. Billy and Rusty have to act fast to get out of this mess, retrieve Marmaduke and maybe find a way to fix the problem before it gets out of hand.
