A review by shighley
Baby Island by Carol Ryrie Brink
3.0
This book was a hoot! A friend listed it on her facebook "Top Ten" as a favorite from childhood. Surprisingly, I had never heard of it, even though I was a huge Carol Ryrie Brink fan (how many times did I read The Pink Motel and Caddie Woodlawn?) This felt like a cross between The Swiss Family Robinson and The Boxcar Children.
I have to admit, I didn't see the ending coming; I expected happily ever after, but not the way it developed. As historical reference, it's interesting to see how things have changed in almost 80 years.
