It's kind of a neat idea - it seems the author felt dissatisfied enough with the original to feel compelled to write the second book.

Not the best of the kids books from the era maybe, but worthy of the awards it got. <br /><br />But you know, my favorite childhood reads didn't win any awards and didn't deserve any. But they were still my favorites: The Lion's Paw, Nancy and Plum, Flight of the Doves. . . (all orphan stories, too!).Rebecca M.

I didn't read your review of The Cay, for some reason, but I don't think I'll read either.Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52364159500107393.post-56027683758617403262014-05-22T12:50:28.730-07:002014-05-22T12:50:28.730-07:00The first one is very good!
