Island Games is a standalone novel and written by a young
man who was so inspired at a young age by reading, that he wanted to write a
book to share his ideas with the world. Island Games is the product of these
ideas and was published when he was 12 years old.
Matthew and Ryan, who are best friends, wake up one day to
find themselves stranded on a beach in the middle of nowhere, with no
recollection as to how they got there. As they search for food, water and any
means of survival they find themselves being moved between different environments
and having to battle strange creatures and overcoming their own fears. As they
complete tasks that they believe will get them off the island, they realise
that their friendship and working together to a common goal is the key to getting
out of there.
The book has a bit of a Hunger Games/ Mazerunner feel to it.
You can tell that the tale it written by a younger author, but the concept and
indeed the message the author learns about life, friendship and working to
where you want to go is very important. A light afternoon read recommended for
YA readers.
