Things were bad enough when Luke, Lyssa, Will, J.J. Ian, and Charla 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.

Great for Boys!!!,
By Tami Barrier (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escape (Island #3) (Paperback)
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.

Gordon Korman's "Island" series,
By "superteacher123" (Calcutta, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escape (Island #3) (Paperback)
What a page turner that keeps you guessing what is going to happen!!! Korman's trilogy has found a place in my classroom reading series. I've bought a classroom set of the whole entire "Island" series. I read each book in one day. It was nerve-racking waiting for the final book to come out, but I was NOT DISAPPOINTED.Who would have known that the ending would turn out as it did? The least likely islander came through and saved the day...by the skin of their teeth. I was gripped in the first book by the characters, the second by the separation of the kids and all of their problems. The third book kept me "on the edge of me seat." This has got to be turned into a big theatrical movie...I'll be the first in line to buy my tickets.
