The Lost Island Of Tamarind

By Nadia Aguiar

Three children--Maya(13) Simon(9) and Penny(0½) Nelson-- travel with their mother and father who are scientists and are part of The Red Coral Project. The Red Coral Project is a project to find a substance called Othella. They cross The Blue Line--it splits the Outside world to Tamarind (I'll get to that part later). The blue line was really stormy and then there was a loud BANG. The kids parents went outside to see what the problem was. Maya counted the footsteps. 1..2...3...4..5...6...7...8...9...10..Maya counted some more. Then nothing. The children waited until the storm was over and Maya went outside to see what the problem was.....Their parents had disappeared. When they woke up, they found out that they had reached Tamarind--where the Othella is.

That was the bit where the kids parents disappeared.
Tamarind is a wild island that has been lost over the many years. It is close to the country Bermuda, where the Nelson family is originally found. On the Island, they meet a boy named Helix and his parrot Seagrape.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes the sound of adventures. There is a second book to this called The Secrets of Tamarind, but I haven’t read it yet.
I rate this book 10/10, because it is really cool and the children come to too many close calls.
