MEGAN'S ISLAND is about a girl named Megan who moves frequently with her Mom and brother and doesn't even know why. It's a story of a normal girl who finds herself in strange circumstances and comes to know of her even stranger past. One summer she travels to a place called Lakewood in the dead of night with her family, not knowing where she is going. There she finds an island and a friend. She always wondered why she moved so much. Were they running away from somebody? It's a fun mystery book that is also a little scary, but it was so exciting that I couldn't put it down.

by CVM Dallas Texas age 8. The book takes place around a lake cottage and on an island. The main characters are a brother and sister. Megan and Sandy are trying to solve a family mystery. There is alot of adventure as they find clues that fit the puzzle. They try to find the biggest clue of all, what is there mother doing. They try to find the clue with special friends Ben and Wolf. The book was exciting and I just wanted to read more and more of it. It is a book for boys and girls or reading it as a family.

Megan's Island was a great book with lots of suspense. There was one week of school left until summer vacation and Megan was really excited. Then one night Mom told them they had to pack up because they were moving. Megan was used to moving but this was strange. To make it even more stranger, her mom was acting kind of wierd lately and now she almost seemed scared of something.At there grandfather's house where they were living everything was going okay until she wrote a letter to her best friend, Annie which her mom told her NOT to do. Then strange people started to come to their house.This story had a GREAT, shocking ending.I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Megan's Island has many suspenseful elements going for it all throughout the book. Megan & her brother, Sandy, wonder why the family has to move so often. Why does Mom seem worried and frightened at times? What really happened to the father they never knew? Why does Mom suddenly pack them up right before summer vacation forcing them to miss the last days of school?When Sandy and Megan arrive at their grandfather's cabin on the lake, there are other puzzling mysteries to solve, as well as summer fun to look forward to. The read is introduced to several great characters who offer a lot to the story, as well as to some very shady suspicious characters. All is not what it seems at the lake.Read this great story if you are a fan of mystery. You will not be disapointed. Megan's Island won the very prestigous Edgar Allan Poe Award for children's mystery. The award was totally deserved. Mr Roberts has a way of leaving each chapter with a cliffhanger. I could not put the book down.
