A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A world of adventure without leaving the house. (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)

Shark Island is exactly the sort of adventure thriller I would have devoured when I was a youngster. It has all the ingredients . . . emotional highs and lows . . . and the wonderful idea of two scared kids forced to be action heroes to rescue the unfortunate adults. Reminiscent of Treasure Island this is a wonderful adventure story set in the modern world with love, loss, the menace of violent pirates, the nightmare of darkly threatening jungle and the fear of a suddenly alien lonely world, all challenged by the constancy, courage and togetherness of two children . . . A cracking read. (Joe Simpson, mountaineer and author of Touching the Void)
