Ariel, Zed and the Secret of Life

I was first drawn to this book because of the gorgeous cover, but I soon learned that the inside is as good as the outside. The author uses lush descriptions so you feel like you are in the book with the characters. When you read this book you will be transported to a magical island where the tropical trees are lush and green and the air is hot, wet, heavy, and full of exotic scents. The sun always beats down and the ocean is a vivid turquoise. The plot is certainly fresh with twists and turns and a wonderful ending! What characters will you meet? You'll just have to read it! I read this book for the first time several years ago, and I still love to read it, even though I am now 16.

Even though I am 15 years old, this has to be my absolute favourite book. It is filled with great imagination and adventure. I recommend it to anyone who needs something happy and adventurous to read.
