Synopsis

In the 19th century, Tom Tin is trapped in a convict ship bound for Australia, where he will serve a lengthy prison sentence for a murder he didn’t commit. Despite being warned of headhunters, pirates, and even cannibals, Tom and several other young prisoners escape in a stolen longboat. Then a violent storm strands them on a tropical island. Sure enough, the alluring islands of the Pacific aren’t quite the refuge Tom had hoped for. Encountering all that he was warned of and more, including tension among the escapees, dangerous creatures, and the mysterious Mr. Mullock, Tom must not only struggle for his freedom, but also for his life. Iain Lawrence, acclaimed author of young adult novels, delivers another exotic adventure in this thrilling sequel to The Convicts.

The story starts right off from where the first book left off, I encourage readers (or listeners in my case) to not read a book in between to prevent confusion. Despite this, there were two boy characters I kept confusing because they were not as distinct as the others. In addition, it did not help......more
