The book plot has got my interest even though I rarely read books with really young protagonists.

A sci-fi book about a boy being blown away to a mysterious island sounds intriguing. It sounds like it would appeal to all ages.

As I read the review. I was imagining such kind of scenario where a child strayed away from the parents to find himself in the midst of strange creatures in an invisible island. Obviously, the author created a scenario where readers will be glued to reading what happened. Congrats on the botd and a satisfactory review.

The unlikely mix of characters on an invisible tropical island seems curious. The adventure and mystery will appeal to young readers. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

An adventure and suspence filled fantasy novel "Sebastian and the Invisible Island" by Michael William Hogan, which follows eleven years old Sebastian and his parents who reach an invisible island. The story appears entertaining to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This older children's - young adult science-fiction/fantasy sounds like an adventure. The invisible island setting reminds of the story Brigadoon. Great review!

This book has good detail and I would love to read more! It, unfortunately, seems to have very short chapters though, some being what appears to be only a page long. That said, it carries good suspense, even with such short chapters.

The plot of Sebastian and the Invisible Island by Michael William Hogan seems to have fascinating elements in its fold. The most intriguing aspect of the story is the role of the shapeshifting extraterrestrial entities. I would love to know how Sebastian escapes from the invisible island.

The invisible island seems to be a lovely place. It doesn't bother me that the chapters are short. Sometimes it is good to read a book with short chapters; they are easy and comfortable to read. It is a book that can be read by children and adults. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the great review, the story is interesting and immersing. I am curious to know how Sebastian survives the nightmare of the invisible island by himself.

This sounds like an entertaining and fantastical read, particularly for younger readers. The short chapters would work especially well for a younger audience, as well as give older readers a nice, relaxing read. Thank you for the helpful review.

With characters like shapeshifting extraterrestrials, strange creatures, a prehistoric ichthyosaur, a Polynesian warrior, and a female aviator in this book, what more can a reader ask for.
