TenNapel’s world building never disappoints. In this case it’s an island with strange plants, a mysterious origin, and an overabundance of creatures that want to kill you. This may go down as the worst family vacation ever, but at least it brought them closer in the end.
Danger, adventure, humor, and fast-paced fun. This standalone is sure to keep you on your toes. Great pick for young readers looking for something a bit dark and slightly spooky. This one has plenty of teeth, claws, and battle/chase scenes galore.
When danger lurks around every corner, keep your wits about you and turn the page.
