Out Island Doctor

This is Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn mixed with some Robinson Crusoe all packed into one! This is an absolutely charming book that you will not be able to put down, and which also happens to be nonfiction!

It follows the story of one of the most interesting and famous men the Bahamas Isles have ever known, a retired chemistry teacher from Canada named Evans Cottman. This low-key and humble man saw himself slowly transformed into a renowned doctor with all of the colorful dialects, weather, people, and customs of the isles surrounding him.
