Book details
Jonny Zucker - Author
A compact survival mystery built around immediate danger, unanswered questions and escape. It may offer momentum for readers who enjoy tense adventures, while leaving the central explanation initially unclear.
Mike has no idea how he ended up on a deserted island. As he tries to discover answers, he finds himself attacked by all sorts of dangers: crocodiles, tarantulas, and even wild dogs. Something sinister is clearly happening to Mike, but what? As his survival skills get stronger, he becomes even more determined to uncover the truth. Will he succeed in escaping, or has this all been a part of some sick game? Island Shock is part of the Toxic series, published by Ransom Publishing, a specialist publisher for reluctant and struggling readers. The Toxic books offer exciting, shorter stories (just 48pp each) for readers who may find longer books too daunting, but who still want fast-paced, adventure stories. Island Shock is ideal for reluctant readers aged 9-12 with a reading age of 8-11.
