The Lost Island Of Tamarind. Nadia Aguiar (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
It's not that this is an utterly dreadful book by any means, it's just that any characterisation, narrative and innovation as concerns location are completely wiped out by crazy leaps of logic that defy reality (and not in a cool way).As highlighted by many the main 'hero' is highly annoying and engenders almost no sympathy from the reader. She's obstinate, self-absorbed (despite her obvious and signposted affection for her siblings), and simply not particularly likeable.It's a shame really, because there are some good parts to the book, but they are in no way enough to overcome its significant and varied literary failings... what started out as an enjoyable read soon descended into a bit of a chore to finish. This book is about how some kids wash up on a mysterious island, an island that has glowing animals and i forget the rest ( read it a couple of years ago), but i promise you, you will enjoy it!!! it is really good!This is one of my favourite books :)Love the fantasy in it!!!People who loved the movie Journey to the centre of the earth and or mysterious island, you WILL LOVE THIS!!
