Island of Fire

We've been reading the series out loud to the kids. I've noticed that Lisa McMann's writing has steadily improved. The kids loved the first two books, but I thought the writing in the first one in particular was very clunky. The second one was a little odd, but the writing was better. This one is the best one yet - the kids still love it, and the writing has improved immensely - much less long description where an action would do, and better setup for the more suspenseful moments and surprises. You can't skip to this one (it won't make sense without the first two), but if you've started the series you should definitely continue it with this book.

Great series!

I chose this rating because it was very adventurous and exciting I would reccomend this book to people that have already read the first books and have not found it in their library at school or at home. Overall this book was intriguing.

My 13 year old niece and 10 year old nephew loved it!

My 13-year old son couldn't put it down and I also enjoyed this third book in the series! It kept me interested, engaged, and wondering what would happen next. The characters are interesting and show growth and dimension. This book continues the themes of good and evil as well as leadership and tough choices. Nicely done!
