Dangerous Island

Dangerous Island | Helen Mather-Smith Mindlin

pick

Well, I got this one for a quarter in 2003, so it only took me 20 years to get around to read this 178pg MG book 😂 It was good fun but not amazing. Three kids are playing on a raft when it breaks free from its moorings and goes out with the tide, stranding them on a small, rocky island. All of that, and their survival stuff, was great fun. However for some reason the island is sinking (never explained). The kids mark the water line to see if ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) it's just the tide and we're told “the water didn't move“... but shouldn't the tide be coming in and out regardless?? And then they find an entire huge pile of gold, but we never find out who put it there or why! So basically it's a fun story, but it also felt like the author was just trying to make it dramatic and exciting rather than remotely believable - but sometimes that's fun, too. A soft pick. 2y
