Aimed at readers aged 13-19, Lemur Island: Darwin's Disappearance is an adventure novel that introduces a sympathetic 16-year-old heroine, who travels to the far side of the world--Madagascar. Samantha is in search of her father, who has disappeared in the bush while on a scientific expedition. In her quest, she finds more than she bargained for: a fascinating local culture, unique and endangered wildlife, a new sense of confidence, and love for a boy who is unlike anyone she has ever known.
