Island of the Angry Smile

By Michael Kulwiec

When the truth hides, courage rises
Gummy's stories were famous for making the Blink kids jump-but none of them ever expected to land inside one. When a deadly illness called The Sorrow strikes their family, Taddy, Styn, and Parker discover an ancient map pointing to a place that does not want to be found: the Island of the Angry Smile.

Racing to find a cure, they must navigate treacherous jungles, mysterious caves, secret laboratories, and betrayal from someone close to them. With quick thinking, humor, and Gummy's life on the line, they must uncover the island's darkest secret. The answer lies within them, but only strength and courage will unlock it.

Time is running out.

About the Author
Michael Kulwiec started writing stories long before he ever stepped into a science lab, where he discovered that science and imagination make a pretty great team. Today he helps researchers share their discoveries through his studio, DesignLab, while creating his own adventure novels in his Laboratory of Imagination in San Diego, California with his wife, Pam. Neighborhood kids often wander by for a chat, a sneak peek at his latest idea, and maybe a gummy or two.
