Have you ever had a day that started bad and got worse? Jillie's day starts when the ship she’s traveling on sinks in shark infested waters. With her parents missing, she’s left solely responsible for her spoiled little sister, Ruby. When a strange boy named Omar pulls them from the water, Jillie is at once grateful and suspicious. Join the adventure as Jillie and Ruby navigate a mysterious island where they must battle wild animals, crazy weather and creepy people, while searching for the girls’ parents. When no one is who they say, and nothing is as it seems, family is all you can trust.

This was a wonderful adventure. I wrote the first three chapters and then gave the students three options. They voted in real time and I wrote the next section. This went on for seven weeks and the students NEVER chose the way I would have picked. It was a challenge but I really enjoyed it.
