There is no doubt that anyone who reads Island Book Three: Escape By Gordan Korman would love it! In this book there are six kids who get marooned on an uncharted island for 28 days.
Things were bad enough when Luke, Lan, Lyssa, JJ, Charla, and Will were stuck alone on the island, but now they have company- really bad company. Plus Will is seriously injured and needs help immediately. Before, escape was something the kids could only hope for. Now it's a matter of life and death.
This is one of the greatest books I've ever read and if I like it I'm sure you will too. This is a very adventurous book.
I awarded this book 5 stars. I awarded it 5 stars because when I read it I felt like I was actually on the island. I could see the pictures in my mind.
Do the kids survive and get off the island? Read the book to find out.

OK, so with the very first two books I was able to overcome some credibility challenges, but I DO have my limits. While the characters remain strong, a transormation of one is so totally out of character as to cause rolled eyes in disbelief. An escape from hightly-motivated armed captors? I don't think so. Adolescents performing surgery without training? Yeah, right. Book one's creep of note facing the music? Only if the castaways really did come to some reasonable return to civilization. If a reader is willing to put up with such incredible happenings, there's pleasure here, particularly in the cohesion formed by the youngsters and their coming to a good end. But that's more than this reader could come up with.

This book sucks. Don't read it! It has no meaning. This book is more for boys. It only talks about some kids stuck on an island trying to survive, and they find out that they are not alone. The only I read it is because my class had to read and write a letter to your partners (mine were Arabia and Steph) talking about what you thought about the book. So I had no other choice but to read it. Some of the kids in my class couldn't put it down and others (like me) couldn't pick it up. No offence to the autho r, but this book sucks!

If your looking for books that will hook boys into reading, then this is the one! As a teacher I know that getting boys interested in novels has become increasingly difficult. Boys are great with informational books or comics, but it is harder to catch their interest in chapter books. This book is the third book in a series of the "Island" books. It is highly interesting for its audience. It is about 6 chidlren (4 boys, 2 girls) that get sent on a boat as a punishment and a storm shipwrecks them on an island.
On this island the children learn to work together and take care of one another (developing life skills). They discover some smugglers and even "Junior" which is a left over atomic bomb from World War II. It is a wonderful series for boys that will appeal to their need for adventure and everyone of all ages. It is a different story line and has many real challenges that you see these characters go through that may help you in your everyday life. I suggest this book for any child around third grade and up.
