A book that takes place on an island The Time Machine/The Island of Doctor Moreau (World's Classics) by H.G. Wells

I'm so grateful to this challenge that shows me talent of Wells! Probably I would miss him if wasn't this rule for dystopian novel and this book was in our family library from so long.

Edit: I move it to the category book that takes place on an island, because match there better :).
