There’s always a buzz of excitement in the air when a new Frank Cottrell-Boyce book hits the shelves and the award-winning author certainly strikes gold with this rip-roaring adventure.
Featuring a group of children marooned on an uninhabited island without a single adult, any money, or (horror of horrors!) internet connection, Cottrell-Boyce’s mobile-free comedy – brilliantly illustrated by Steven Lenton – is a breath of fresh air in a world full of screen technology.
