i finished reading this book to my kids a little while ago. this was one of my favorite books when i was little and i wanted to read it to my kids but couldn't remember the title. i found it at the goodwill and instantly recognized it as the "long lost" book of my childhood. the kids loved it (i was worried it might be too boring). Max was the most interested since it has to do with some of his favorite subjects : adventures of flight, hidden treasures, and active volcanos. he kept sneaking the book at night and reading ahead of us. i was surprised at how attentive and engaged even whitney was with the story.
the book is filled with amazing illustrations of the fabulous contraptions and inventions of the people of the island of krakatoa.
the plot line is thrilling, suspenseful and educational all at once and i'm sure we'll be reading it again.

How fun! I love good book recommendations and I can't wait until Marley will sit and listen to longer stories. That book looks and sounds great!
Thanks for the recommendation. I've never heard of it. Do you suppose it is out of print?
P.S. I love that you still go to Goodwill. Seriously, you are a thrift store genius!
oh I remember that book, I would have sworn it was called the island of Kracatoa or something like that. I am going to have to read it again too.
Love the illustrations....You know if Max loves it so much you can somehow blow up some of his fav pics poster size and frame it for his room :)
Thanks for sharing! Maybe I can try it with Easton. He loves stories!
