So refreshing as an adult to take a little time to consider the world as seen through the eyes of a fourth grade kid. The book targets the middle school age group, but anyone will enjoy this vacation adventure. I liked the character development as described through young Tommy's observations. You won't have to try very hard to get your imagination revved up. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thoughtfully delivered
Lots of fun information for boys about island life, people and nature. Enjoyable story line. This is a good book for kids to get drawn into the love of reading.

Great read. I am no young adult (I’m 72) but I found it to be a good and very believable story line with some history and geography as a plus.
I have two grown boys who are dyslexic who would have loved the story line and ease with which the story flows.
