I will definitely read this book to unravel the mystery of that “invisible” island. Wait for me Sebastian, I’ll accompany you.

When I first read about the boat and storm it reminded me of Blue Lagoon but I must admit the further I read the more intrigued I got. I am also thankful to that it is for all ages then I can get my son a copy as well. It is hard finding a book that captures my attention since the first page and after this review I am definitely going to start reading.

What a page turner! I've only read the sample pages on Amazon but this story got off to a cracking start. The short, sharp chapters setting up Sebastian's unintentional adventure almost read themselves and would easily draw in the younger readers this book is intended for. There's also enough detail in the writing about sailing and fishing to convince that the author, Michael William Hogan, knows what he's writing about: a solid basis for the sci-fi to follow.

Thanks to Nwankwo GC's detailed review, I could fill in some of the gaps in what could lie ahead beyond the sample text. Useful, as it would help me decide whether or not to buy this for a younger reader.

Michael William tells us that when we adventure in to a world little known, chances are ,we might find it difficult to return.

The fact that this book uses imagery to appeal to readers is convincing. Since it's suitable for a wide variety of audiences, it's worth a read for me.

I usually like reading young adult books, and the idea of the invisible island appeals to me. I'd have no issues with short chapters, and I do appreciate the moderator's note that this is done to accommodate young readers.

This sounds like a book filled with suspense and intrigue! Imagine being so young, trapped on an invisible island, and surrounded by so many different and frightening creatures. This is definitely my kind of book and can't wait to read the complete book. The imagery and the writing are excellent. Well done on a great review and for getting #BOTD.

So he was trapped. The basic view of the place they were in seems beautiful and peaceful. Also by the way he described the atmosphere, it seems the weather is calm. I am quite intrigued, I wish to read the full book. I want to kow what really happens after.

This looks like a book the author articulated well to make sure every part was important to the storyline. This is great to see. Well done.

The tale of Sebastian is moving. I was wondering how he managed to escape his parent's sight, and I sincerely hope he made it out of this situation unscathed because if anything goes wrong, his parents will suffer. To learn more about this story, I'd love to read this book. Congratulations on your BOTD and a nice review.

Young Sebastain really intrigues me in how he escapes from this island inhabited by extraterrestrial creatures. I look forward to reading this book. Thanks for the informative review.
