Trapped On Kooky Island

By Teri M Bethel

A routine flight turns into a high-stakes fight for survival.

Thirteen-year-old Tye Johnson is always looking for his next big adventure. So when his parents announce a trip to Cat Island, Tye jumps at the chance-he's got one thing on his mind: uncovering hidden island treasures.

But things take a sudden, dangerous turn when his dad, a former Royal Bahamas Defence Force naval officer, spots something strange from the cockpit of their twin-engine plane. Following his instincts, he touches down on Kooky Island, a mysterious, uninhabited cay hidden deep within the Bahamian chain.

They thought they were alone. They were wrong.

Instead of a deserted paradise, the Johnsons land directly into a dangerous situation. Kooky Island is under the stranglehold of a ruthless thug and his band of combatants. Cut off from the rest of the world, with no backup and enemies closing in from every side, a simple detour instantly transforms into a terrifying race against time. To survive, Tye and his family will need more than quick thinking-they'll need unbreakable courage and an absolute leap of faith.

Will they find a way to escape, or will they become prisoners forever?

"A delightful family adventure"
