For the adventurous girl in all of us...

The Lost Island of Tamarind
Book Review:
By Tara Dugan Kusumoto

When 13-year old Maya sits brooding on the sailboat's deck, craving a normal life on land with school and friends, she cannot anticipate how quickly the tedium of her seafaring life will change.

In The Lost Island of Tamarind, first-time novelist Nadia Aguiar tells the story of how Maya, her younger brother Simon and baby sister Penny must fend for themselves after their parents disappear overboard during a violent storm.

Reminiscent of Bermuda Triangle legends (appropriate, considering Aguiar was born and raised in Bermuda), the kids lose all means of navigation and communication, leaving them to follow the winds and currents, which steer them over the mysterious "blue line" to the island of Tamarind.

Though geared to a young adult audience (10-14 years old), this is not just for the young adventurer. It's for readers of all ages who seek the innocence of an adventure that allows you to suspend reality.
