"Smiling, they fell back to Earth"


The writing style kept me on my toes the whole time I was reading it. I love this writing style and these are the kind of writing styles that really gets the readers attention and keeps them intrigued the whole time.

I loved the idea, theme and moral of the book. The island and all the things it could mean for different people. The island could be something like a cage for some people with a piece of land surrounded by vast waters. . .but to others, they see it as a challenge or just another thing they have to cross and in fact, they enjoy it.

The characters!! Edgar and Shay are pretty cute here. Flounder is just a baby to me. And the characters in general were written out well.

I also liked how the family concept is added here and how it was interpreted by the story.

The story is very unique and creative. The characters made me want to protect them and carry them with me forever, they were very realistic and believable. The execution of this book was good. I really can't even think of what I didn't like about this book. If there is, it probably is very minimal and everything good definitely outweighs the bad.

Full Review: [coming soon]


This was a very good first novel for Ferris Gibbs. It was wonderful.
