The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz

4.0

adventurous funny lighthearted

Read this one aloud with my 8yo because she's been obsessed with the movies for years.  I was pleasantly surprised at the story line. This is a prequel of sorts to the first story, giving  you insight on how Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay became friends. 

It's more robust than I anticipated from a movie novelization! My daughter loved it and we'll be picking up the second one soon.
