Description
A beautiful story of friendship and the healing power of nature, The Islanders is a heartwarming tale for middle grade readers. When eleven-year-old Jake's life is turned upside-down by his father's injury and mother's departure, he finds himself spending the summer on Dewees Island with his grandmother.
Stranded in this natural sanctuary without modern conveniences like cable or the internet, Jake must navigate a new world where friendship and adventure become his lifeline. Alongside two other islanders, Macon and Lovie, he embarks on thrilling adventures and learns valuable lessons about family, loss, and the importance of protecting the environment.
As they work together to save a threatened turtle nest from coyotes, Jake's growing love for the island and its inhabitants helps him find healing and solace. Will his new friendships and experiences be enough to help him heal his father and find happiness on this special place?
