Description

When Mike and his friends decide to go for a day’s cruising around the coast of Scotland, they are surprised to come across a mysterious barren island that doesn’t show up on any map or satellite image. Determined to explore it, they make some chilling discoveries: piles of bones, evidence of explosives, and a strange old abandoned building full of scientific equipment – including gas masks. But still none of them quite realizes the trouble they’re in until a helicopter flies in and blows up their boat, leaving them stranded…and falling desperately ill. Inspired by a real island in Scotland used for anthrax testing, this eerie and contemporary thriller will keep readers on the very edge of their seat.

Other text

Forbidden Island is a mystery novel, inspired by the history of a Scottish Island called Gruinard. We follow the story of five brave teens who find a mysterious island invisible from maps and screened from satnav. The mystery begins when the five friends discover the island off the coast of Scotland. Once they realise that they are on their own on this island, they begin to put together the truth. The characters in this book are very interesting. I enjoyed this book because I wanted to keep reading it just to see what would happen next. I would highly recommend this book to everyone because it was very interesting. I think it is suitable for children between the ages of 9 and 14.
