In a rousing, nail-biting narrative, Wendy Macklin shows herself a superb successor to the finest children's story authors of yesteryear; The Secret of Flynn's Island will delight a new generation of young readers, keep the reluctant reader turning the pages...and thrill Teachers who love to read a riveting story to their class.
