The Other Island, Book 3, (A Morgan Koda Adventure) (Book) - 7/23/2012 5:13:25 PM
The Other Island, Book Three, of the Morgan Koda Adventures Series is the latest in a series of books that will capture imaginations worldwide with good reason. Juls Duncan has created a loveable, likeable cast of characters with the requisite villains the reader just loves to hate. Morgan and her friends also find themselves in predicaments many children face: Unpleasant adults who seem to wish them nothing but trouble; mysterious actions of adults who do things without explanation; and the sense of learning to use your own abilities to succeed in life. "Take what is thrown at you and do your best to survive" is a strong theme throughout all of the Morgan Koda Adventure books.
It's not hard to see why kids enjoy these books. Children can easily identify with the characters, and the plots capture their imagination. Yet, though Juls Duncan has managed to create a heroine and friends who will endure, she has not fallen into a trap many authors of children's books face: Morgan is not eternally young, but is growing and learning. She's even learning of the perils and mysteries of socializing with non-humans. Wonder what else Juls Duncan has in store for our gutsy heroine....
