A REVIEW FROM ONE OF OUR YOUNG REVIEWERS AT OTTIE AND THE BEA-

A crew like no other set off on a dangerous voyage to the Galapagos Islands.

This book expresses the true meaning of writing in every sense. It envelops the reader. Atmospheric language is used to describe powerful moments. This book is amazing!

If you like The Murderer's Ape by Jakob Wegelius, The Cogheart series by Peter Bunzl or The Explorer by Katherine Rundell you will love this adventure.
