| Little Island - Big Adventures by Maria Roberts Squires ISBN: 978 976 638 087 8 Pages: 168 Age Group: 12-14 Published: 2007 Little Island � Big Adventures is a story which celebrates friendship, family life and the security of living in a small close-knit community where people care for one another. The novel recounts the many adventures of the main character, Sara-Ann and her best friend, Ruben, during their last school year on the island. Told from Sara-Ann�s point of view, it abounds with mischief and humorous adventures as it gives a close-up view of the way of life on this tiny Grenadine island in the 1960s. Sara-Ann�s adventures featuring the local witch, a mad bull, a graveyard prank, a jilted bride and other exciting events are highly entertaining. The language is stimulating and will help to extend the vocabulary of the 12-14 age group. Synopsis Sara-Ann lives with her family on a tiny Grenadine island, affiliated to Grenada in the Eastern Caribbean. Her father is the headmaster of the lone school which she attends with her older sister and two younger brothers. The headmaster is head cook and bottle washer on the island which has only one church, no police presence, no electricity and no running water. Most of the children go barefooted even to school. Because of her family�s position, Sara-Ann gets to know most of everybody�s business, and often gets involved in the events, sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic but always highly entertaining. Her friendship with Ruben, a thirteen year-old boy in her class, is constantly challenged by Elsie, another classmate. There is the merest hint of romantic development as the headmaster moves his family to Grenada and Ruben also gets a chance to further his education there. The novel ends with a strong expression of faith in answered prayers by both Sara-Ann and Ruben. |

EXCITING AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING Welcome to the world of the imagination and the fantastic in these ten stories where Good continues its age-old fight against Evil. These stories are highly entertaining, and, in the tradition of folktales, they also carry many moral messages. They show that those who are kind to others, those who protect nature and defend the weak are given worthy rewards sometimes by magical means. On the other hand, those who are greedy, abusive, unkind and wish to harm nature receive deserved punishment. The overriding message is that a person�s fortune is often determined by the quality of his or her character. |
