once upon an island

By margaret adelman

ONCE UPON AN ISLAND is a 212 page (37,500 words) environmental mystery with 100 pen and ink illustrations aimed at a young teens audience.A tropical island, unloosed from the ocean floor by a sudden hurricane, is lost in the Indian Ocean. While a search is pursued by the frantic biologist parents of the three children alone on it, the children find they are sharing the island with a sanctuary for endangered animals at the other end. The two stories converge with the unravelling of a family saga and of the island history (one of abuse, regeneration, greed and magic) and a final rescue at the end through the united powers of fantasy and endurance.
