Description
Crikey Roo and the Riddler
Adventure, mystery, and mate-ship in the 1970's Australia.
Roo and the Ruby Joy Gang aren't your average kids. With their trusty Malvern Star bikes, scraped knees, and Sandy the golden terrier riding snug in Roo's jacket, they spend their days chasing fun through the sun-drenched streets of 1970's suburban Australia. They love watching championship wrestling on a Sunday afternoon, playing marbles at school and warding off the St Benedict bullies.
But when an old lady asks for their help, the gang stumbles into their wildest adventure yet, a riddle-filled treasure hunt set inside an old, possibly haunted house tucked deep in the suburbs. From rescuing Sandy the terrier to fighting off giant magpies their days are action packed..
Set in the heart of the 1970's Australia, Crikey Roo is a nostalgic, feel-good ride full of friendship, freedom and the kind of adventure that only happen when the streetlights are your curfew.
