Synopsis

Three children. Alone on the ocean waves, after a fierce storm throws their parents from the Pamela Jane into the icy waters below. Maya, Simon and Penny now face a wild rescue adventure that will lead them to a truly magical place . . .

Imagine an island with green mountains looming over pink sandy beaches and tide pools lit by the moon. An island with the darkest of secrets, where pirates lurk and jaguars roam – and a precious stone holds a power that is both wondrous and terrifying. This is where the children must go.

No one from the Outside has escaped the island before. Danger is everywhere. But they can’t turn back now. Could you?

'this has to be my favourite book ever! i have read it nine times and it is still a fresh book for me. If you read this Nadia, I hope you make your second book soon. Helix is the most interesting person. But my favourite character would be Maya. Please write a new book soon! Your biggest fan!!! sofiyos'

'This is definitely the best book I have read yet!!! I read it when my mum got it from the library and couldnt put it down!I have read it nine times and bought the book anyway! It is not just adventure or scientific or anything but all in one! Helix is definietely the most interesting, but my favourite character would be Maya. I think everyone should buy it!!!!'

Reviewer: luke and mam

'Luke is 9 and has dyslexia so doesn''t read independantly but loves being read to, so we read this together as a bedtime adventure and just finished reading it last night. We both agree it is one of the best books we have ever read. We have had some late nights as we just couldn''t put it down. Luke was really drawn into the story and it is the first book we''ve read in which he could really imagine all the characters, so much so that he thought the local baker was the image of Helix! We can''t wait until the next installment - bedtime will be boring tonight! Hurry up with the next one, please! We think it would make an excellent film too.'
