Hi! I hope you enjoy this book review on The Mysterys of Ravenstorm Island. The Lost Children!
Author- Gillan Phillip
Genre- Fiction, Adventure
Theme- Be brave, l will explain why later in the post
Target audience- 10+ l will explain why later in the post
I chose be brave for the theme because in The Lost Children Melody Garland found the the Sprye Queen's son and the queen was extremely threatening.
I chose 10+ for the target audience because the concepts and ideas are pretty complicated and the story was full of suspense and scary.
I recommend this book to people who like Enid Blyton because Gillan Phillip and Enid Blyton have similar writing styles. In addition, Paul Jennings because Paul and Gillian have a similar way of writing suspense and you keep wanting to read on.
Finally, this book is about Arthur (Art, is his nickname) moving to Ravenstorm Island. Molly and Jack come too because their parents are magicians and travel the world for their shows. Except at first they do not know each other and when they get there they are disrespectful to each other. Mason, the butler who came with the house gave them lucky stones, to keep them safe. The trouble is that Melody Garlan stole the sprye queen's son. That made her turn all the children into stone but Molly and Arthur manage to not get hit by the spell because of the stones Mason gave them but because Jack didn’t keep his stone he got hit by the spell which also turned him into stone.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars ⛦ because l feel like the solution to the problem was very rushed. Also because Gillan Phillip ended up introducing a lot of pointless and useless characters along the way. Although l think the problem was well thought out and was a great idea.
The question of the blog is would you move to a forgotten island? I personally would not because l like to be near people l know and in places more comforting.
I hope you enjoyed this book review on The Lost Children!
