Island of Stars will take you on an old-fashioned adventure, building like an ocean wave as nautical mysteries and historical intrigue are blended together in a fairy tale that resolves itself in a fantastical climax. This story was written primarily for ages 9-12, but is a perfect family book and one that will keep adult listeners entertained and engaged as well.

Twins Bert and Betty are thrown together with their new friend Cecily for a much-anticipated summer exploring an unknown island. Stumbling into a series of mysteries where history and mythology intertwine, they come to realize that they will need the help of the adults in their company to bring their adventure to a climax and lay their questions to rest.

Island of Stars is a real adventure story. Carrie takes you on a fantastic voyage indeed. She is a gifted story teller who has developed the story and its characters well. She weaves mystery and intrigue throughout the story keeping you wondering what could be next. I especially liked the theme that our days are numbered and that is beautiful and beneficial to one's life. This is an uplifting tale that children of all ages would likely enjoy.

A fantastic voyage!

This story is an utterly delightful summer adventure. Denise does an amazing job bring this tale to life, sucking you into Carrie’s story of Bert and Bettie on summer holiday on an island full of mystery and discovery.

Amazing!

This book was beautifully written with a perfect balance of mystery and suspense, mixed with lovely dashes of humor. It's a rollicking good time! And the narrator was a delight - a lovely listen! I wish there were more stories written today like this!

Very satisfying adventure story!

This story is a blend of history, adventure, and fantasy! It is an excellent book for middle grade children but this adult loved every chapter, too. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I have both the hardback and the audio version. One can't go wrong with either but this is a perfect roadtrip listen, highly engaging, and beautifully performed.

A Fantastical Summer Adventure!

It’s an OK story but I think that I would have only appreciated this style of narration as a middle schooler.

Annoying narration

I’m a grandma and just listened to this book, and really enjoyed it! I believe, as did CS Lewis, that good books for kids should also be enjoyed by adults.

This story has mystery and intrigue, danger, and situations requiring bravery. All done without violence or bad language.

I know that my grands will enjoy this book!

Great Story for kids!

Carrie's debut novel is fantastic! Denise's narration is amazing! If you like middle grade fiction and/or history with a bit of fantasy thrown in, don't miss this wonderful story!!

ALL. THE. STARS!
