Island of Thieves
by Josh Lacey
When his parents go on vacation, Tom Trelawney is left last minute
with his uncle, Harvey. But when Tom gets mixed up with Harvey's search for
treasure in Peru, and his trouble with super-criminal Otto Gonzalez, things get
a little more hectic than Tom expected. This book was narrated in the first
person, which I usually don't like, but it worked out pretty well for this book.
The book isn't written like a movie, it's written like what would happen if this
was a real event. Although searching for treasure and having an uncatchable
criminal trying to kill you isn't exactly realistic, the choices the characters
made are more realistic than dramatic, making the book more realistic and
relatable than one written like a movie. Some of the events may seem stupid, but
it's just realistic. Wouldn't you make stupid choices if you were running from a
murderer and didn't have time to think? This book is also action-packed, so no
need to worry about it being boring. It's very much worth reading, and it's
highly enjoyable.
