Island Games by Caleb Boyer would make a fun read for adolescents

Island Games by Caleb Boyer would make a fun read for adolescents. I was mostly impressed by the author's age and his vivid imagination. The plot is centered around two young boys who find themselves on a mysterious island with no memory of how they got there. On this mysterious island the boys encounter several obstacles and monsters too! They are left with only one choice and that is to fight for their survival. Although the actual age of the boys is not revealed anywhere in the story, they are two likable characters who demonstrate the importance of teamwork.This book contains quite a few valuable lessons and as a parent I would recommend it. Island Games is a nice mixture of the genres science fiction, coming-of-age and adventure. As an adult reader, my expectations were not fully met. While there were several back to back adventures and obstacles, the story did not excite me all the way through. Nonetheless, young readers should enjoy this book far more than I did since the book is appropriate and better suited for a younger audience.
