This was a great family read for us. Several different times my husband and I mentioned books we enjoyed at the same ages as our kids are only to have them echoed in the pages: Hatchet, Where The Red Fern Grows and more. The Islanders is a great story of making new friends from all walks of life and I'm eager to have another summer with them in the sequel. I bet Big Al will surely make another appearance.

These kids have major family issues to deal with but they are also kids on Summer vacation. They learn about friendship, responsibility, independence, and the local wildlife. Loved this one.
