The Island of Thieves (Tom Trelawney #1)

8.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
Tom Trelawney's parents have just dumped him with an uncle he hardly knows. But Uncle Harvey is planning a trip to Peru to follow a treasure map he's just uncovered. Tom talks his way into the trip, but they have hardly landed when they run afoul of the most notorious crook in the country. Can they stay one step ahead of him and find the treasure. Another young adult novel, and another fun, wild ride. I did feel the characters could use a bit more development, but the target audience will love it.

A mix of drama, comedy and a real sense of adventure amongst a group of friends
Fun 80's adventure
A fun film from my childhood. It's very funny in places, the chemistry amongst the friends is great. Throw in some bumbling villians, a treasure map and clues to unravel make this a fun film all round.

Named after the popular song, this book is one of those that you can't put down. It's honestly a edge of your seat suspense from beginning to end. Elisabeth Carpenter is a hidden treasure with each book she brings something new and this book certainly didn't fail to bring something unsuspected.
