I found The Lost Island of Tamarind an exhilarating book with adventure, fear, and excitement all rolled into one. This thrilling book written by Nadia Aguiar keeps the readers on the edge of their seats. At the end of each chapter, you can't wait to find what twists are waiting in the next.
Thirteen year old Maya and her ten year old brother, Simon, sail to an island where few have been - but they are separated from their parents in the process and left in the care of their eight-month-old sister, Penny. The two make their way on foot through a jungle with carnivorous vines and jaguars until a boy, Helix, comes to their aid. But Helix isn't your typical boy. He knows every path of the Lesser Islands of Greater Tamarind. He has ice blue eyes and rumpled brown hair, dark as walnuts. Three sharks teeth glitter on his necklace, and he has a parrot named Seagrape. Will Maya be surprised to hear the true story of how he lost his left ear later on? Or will she be shocked to find out that her father has become an old man with ivory hair? If you love adventures and stories with meaning in them, read The Lost Islands of Tamarind.
