Customer Reviews

excellent, classic adventure story

This is one of those great read-alouds for boys that make the story come alive. My kids were literally chomping to hear how it would work out and whether the boys would get back safely. Definitely an excellent classic!

Adventure at it's best

This was my first Eilis Dillon book and after I was finished I was hooked. the description of the journey to the island is so detailed that I looked up my map to find out precisely where they were and I was disappointed to find out that they didn't exist. The father has been living a Robinson Crusoe lifestyle and with a lost island there is always treasure involved!
