Weather's Here, Wish You Were Great

Castaways #2

by Sandy Beech, Jimmy Holder (Illustrator)

Ship to shore! Or whatever that expression is...Yup, still here on this dumb island, and still no sign of rescue. Feels like all we've been doing is hauling firewood around and gathering food. Cleaning up an island is one thing, but this is not what I signed up for!Anyway, now we're planning a dance, if you can believe that. The sky looks a little overcast, but the dance might be fun (even though it was Evil Angela's idea). Especially since I'm trying to figure out whether Josh likes me or not. If only Kenny would stop bugging me, things might be okay.I mean, seriously, what else could go wrong?

my favorite part was when Dani and Josh find Kenny. My least afvorite part was when the beach dance was ruined by the hurricane.

It was OK. I don't think my kids would have enjoyed it really.

This book was really good. It was kind of funny and included some 'falling in like with...'. I liked when some of the characters dressed up the main character for the dance. Even though there was a rivalry between some people, I thought that made it better!I like these kind of books where people (Especially kids) are stuck on an island or somewhere and must get off or out.
