4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Boys!!!, April 18 2003

By

Tami Barrier (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Escape (Island, Book 3) (Paperback)

If your looking for books that will hook boys into reading, then this is the one! As a teacher I know that getting boys interested in novels has become increasingly difficult. Boys are great with informational books or comics, but it is harder to catch their interest in chapter books. This book is the third book in a series of the "Island" books. It is highly interesting for its audience. It is about 6 chidlren (4 boys, 2 girls) that get sent on a boat as a punishment and a storm shipwrecks them on an island.
On this island the children learn to work together and take care of one another (developing life skills). They discover some smugglers and even "Junior" which is a left over atomic bomb from World War II. It is a wonderful series for boys that will appeal to their need for adventure and everyone of all ages. It is a different story line and has many real challenges that you see these characters go through that may help you in your everyday life. I suggest this book for any child around third grade and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Island, Dec 7 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Escape (Island, Book 3) (Paperback)

I really enjoyed reading these books mostly bcuz the author makes it seem so real by dating back to WW2.
The books are about 6 kids, Luke, Charla, Ian, Will, Lyssa, and J.J. that get sent on CNC for a punishment and the boat they are on (the phoniex) sinks and they lose the adults. after floating in the ocean on a cabin roof for about a week. They arrive on a deserted island or so they thought, until a group or smugglers appear in their airplanes trading goods like animal tusks and teeth. The castaways live off the fruit and fish from what the island supplies them with. I'm not gonna tell you any more so if you wanna know more then read the books. for anyone who likes reading these are great books even if they are for ages 9-12 so what I'm 13 and I loved them so try reading them!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book sucks!
This book sucks. Don't read it! It has no meaning. This book is more for boys. It only talks about some kids stuck on an island trying to survive, and they find out that they are... Read more
