""The perfect adventure story, packed with humour, just the right amount of danger and with amazing illustrations."" Dermot O’Leary
Three kids face shipwrecks, survival and pirates in the latest adventure from bestselling and award-winning author Jenny Pearson.
Sebastian Sunrise and his two best friends, Lina and Étienne, are in a bit of trouble. They are stranded on a desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, after a rowing race went very, very wrong.
The friends have no idea how long they might have to stay on the island, so they make a plan. They will try to survive, look after the island’s baby turtles, and have fun, if they can.
But Sebastian’s life has never gone to plan, and they quickly face jellyfish stings, burnt bums and an out-of-control goat. But when a boat arrives, bringing pirates who want to hunt the island’s baby turtles, the friends face their greatest danger yet…
""A very funny refutation of Lord of the Flies."" The Sunday Times

I love this book! It is so fun! And funny it’s like the Diary of the wimpy kid. My favourite character is Lina because she’s really funny and like the boss. The story is about three children stranded on an island and they try to survive. I would recommend it to ages 7-12. Thank you

It was a fiction book and my favourite character was Lina because she was brave, strong and adventurous. It is a very nice book to read. I recommend it to other kids.
