The Way to Impossible Island Written by Sophie Kirtley. Reviewed by Danny, Age 10

This book drew me in as it looked like an adventure novel (my favourite) and of course it was, hence the name. I’ve never heard of the author which goes to show that trying new writers is good as although this story had a slow start it was definitely worth reading.

For me the best character was Dara as he shows that if you have a health issue (in his case, a heart problem) if you are determined you can always push on. Of course you can’t forget his brave nature, but there were other good characters as well including Mothgirl and Bymyside.

The story is set in a few places, however, the main one is Lathrin island. I’d say it’s set in the present day however, there is a character from the Stone Age in it.

It made me feel a large range of emotions such as being scared, sad and excited.

So, basically what happens is there is was a boy who had a dream of  taking himself to Lathrin Island after his big op. He meets a girl who needs to get to the island too to find her long lost brother, so they go together.

I would recommend this book to adventure fans and people who are interested in legends and history. Altogether I’d give this a ‘Do Read’ and rate it  8 out of 10. If you don’t read this you’re missing out!
