Vanessa, Buzz,
Carter, and Jane are a new step family. Their parents decide that to help them
bond, they will send them on a boat trip together. The kids take to the open
seas with two adult crew members sailing the boat. When a storm separates them from
their hosts, the kids find themselves on a deserted island alone! Will they be
able to set aside their differences and survive?
ARG! This book
is the first in a series, which was really aggravating! I thought this was a pretty
fun book and I think students will be intrigued by kids their own age in this
adventurous situation. This book will span 2-4 grade nicely and the cover art will
be a big draw as well. The character are well developed and fun. I will eagerly snag
the next book.
