Island of Stars (Brownell - hardcover)

Island of Stars will take you on an old-fashioned adventure, building like an ocean wave as nautical mysteries and historical intrigue are blended together in a fairy tale that resolves itself in a fantastical climax. This story was written primarily for ages 9-12, but is a perfect family read-aloud and one that will keep adult readers entertained and engaged as well.

Twins Bert and Betty are thrown together with their new friend Cecily for a much-anticipated summer exploring an unknown island. Stumbling into a series of mysteries where history and mythology intertwine, they come to realize that they will need the help of the adults in their company to bring their adventure to its resolution and lay their questions to rest.
