An engaging adventure story of a young boy, Sebastian lost at sea and finds himself stranded on an invisible island with strange companions beyond his imagination. The Storyline goes between survival and the plight of numerous imaginary characters. I commend the author for this well-researched and written material.

Though I don't like young adult books, this one is definitely well-written and the main character, Sebastian, is a very interesting and courageous boy. The review confirmed my feeling that the novel s worth reading.

This is a great review, and the book sounds fun. I read the sample, and found myself envying Sebastian's fishing skills. The books sounds like a fun read for me, and for my daughter. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

It seems Sebastian Youngfield jumped into the deep end unknowingly, and I am curious to know how he survived on the invisible island. The possibility of a rescue is something else altogether. Thanks for the review.

The title of the book is quite catchy for adventure lovers. The story looks interesting of thinking that the little Sabestian went to the invisible Island all alone without his parents.

Reading the review of this book already got my imagination running wild. What kinds of extraterrestrials did Sebastine encounter? How did he react as an 11 year old? Were there villains and was he the hero? What survival skills die he implore? Did he discover he had some kind of powers along the way? How did he get back to his parents? How did they react to loosing him? And so many others.

If Sebastian is to survive the animals on that island, divine intervention will be necessary. He was stuck how? Why did he deviate from his parents' supervision so much? A fascinating read, this. Let me investigate it. great review.

Sebastian and the invisible island is a fantasy novel which is ideal for teenagers and young adults. Shapeshifters, avatars and strange creatures would appeal to the young at heart. I hope Sebastian find his way back to his family. Thanks for your review.

The plot of the book seems a bit too surreal for my taste. It's intriguing for an audience ranging from children to young adults though. Congrats on BOTD!

This book sounds like it is interesting for those who enjoy fantasy and sci-fi novels. However, I am not a fan so I will pass on this one. Thanks for the great review!

Today's BOTD is an engaging read for fans of scifi and fantasy. Complete with adventure and suspense, readers will be pulled in right from the start and stay hooked throughout as Sebastian does what he can to survive on the island without his parents. Sounds like a good one for younger teens. Thanks so much!
