Island of Stars

De: Carrie Brownell

Narrado por: Denise Hoey

Island of Stars will take you on an old-fashioned adventure, building like an ocean wave as nautical mysteries and historical intrigue are blended together in a fairy tale that resolves itself in a fantastical climax. This story was written primarily for ages 9-12, but is a perfect family book and one that will keep adult listeners entertained and engaged as well.

Twins Bert and Betty are thrown together with their new friend Cecily for a much-anticipated summer exploring an unknown island. Stumbling into a series of mysteries where history and mythology intertwine, they come to realize that they will need the help of the adults in their company to bring their adventure to a climax and lay their questions to rest.

Burt and Betty

Great story my mom liked it because she does not like to buy me books that are so short because I finish them so quickly and she has to buy me another one. I love this story! I think it is awesome😍🌈⭐🌹🐬🐼🐰🐇🦄🐕💎

Fun story!

This book was full of adventure and mystery with a little bit of history. The audiobook was engaging and fun to listen to.

Amazing!

This story is an utterly delightful summer adventure. Denise does an amazing job bring this tale to life, sucking you into Carrie’s story of Bert and Bettie on summer holiday on an island full of mystery and discovery.

A fantastic voyage!

Island of Stars is a real adventure story. Carrie takes you on a fantastic voyage indeed. She is a gifted story teller who has developed the story and its characters well. She weaves mystery and intrigue throughout the story keeping you wondering what could be next. I especially liked the theme that our days are numbered and that is beautiful and beneficial to one's life. This is an uplifting tale that children of all ages would likely enjoy.

A Fantastical Summer Adventure!

This story is a blend of history, adventure, and fantasy! It is an excellent book for middle grade children but this adult loved every chapter, too. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I have both the hardback and the audio version. One can't go wrong with either but this is a perfect roadtrip listen, highly engaging, and beautifully performed.
