Lora Inak and Kruti Desai
It’s Elif’s first day at Cockatoo Hill English Language School, and although she learned a little bit of English in Türkiye, she’s worried she won’t make any new friends in Australia.
But when Elif’s palm itches in class and her very special $2 coin goes missing, she discovers that the kids in her class are part of a secret ‘superhero-ish’ group called The Cockatoo Crew.
Can they help Elif find her coin? And could The Cockatoo Crew be the new friends she’s been hoping for?

Praise for the series
"Kids far and wide will love meeting the gang of The Cockatoo Crew and sharing in their fun-filled adventures. I loved these heartwarming stories by Lora Inak, with delightful illustrations by Kruti Desai, and their powerful reminder friendship is not about us being the same, but about being there for each other. Readers will cheer along too for Elif and the rest of The Cockatoo Crew in this stunning new junior fiction series filled with warmth, humour and heart." Christine Bell
"A series I want to press into every young reader's hands; about a school community's cultural melting-pot, the power of friendship and curiosity, and the joy to be found in learning about other people's cultures. These funny and vibrant books will be most welcome in classrooms, libraries, and treasured as family read-alongs." Danielle Binks
