Why read it?
1 author picked Island of the Aunts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Imagination + humor. The opening line of this books is one of my favorites – “Kidnapping children is not a good idea. All the same, sometimes it has to be done.” – Ibbotson was a genius at combining fantastical settings with humor. This book in particular spoke to my childhood fantasies of taking care of strange animals and visiting exotic locales. It’s a whole lot of fun, like all her books.
From Sheila's list on middle grade with breathtaking imagination.
