I love this book!!!!!
5 out of 5
I like the humour and sadness at the start of the book.
I really enjoyed “An Island of Our Own” by Sally Nicholls. It was a really exciting adventurous story. It had a lot of drama and the characters were described really well. I could picture every second in my head!
This book is very entertaining because it pulls you in with the writing that starts randomly then gets better and more obvious.I think this is one of the top books i have read.
I really liked the book and thought that because it was narrated by someone near to my own age it helped the story along and helped me to understand it more.
