“Witty, full of heart and genuinely fun to read…a wacky, lighthearted romp.” — The New York Times Book Review

Welcome to the further adventures of the plucky Fitzgerald-Trout siblings, who live on a tropical island where the grown-ups are useless, but the kids can drive.

In this second installment, the delightfully self-reliant siblings continue their search for a home. This time, their pursuit will bring them face-to-face with a flood, illegal carnivorous plants, and the chance to win an extraordinary prize at a carnival. Will they finally find a place to call home?

Genre:

  • "It's goofy, sweet, and buoyant with good will--Pippi Longstocking for our more hyperactive times."
    Horn Book
  • "Spunk, spirit, and ingenuity only begin to describe these fascinating children."
    School Library Journal
  • "With quick chapters, a compelling mystery, clever kid characters, and humorous antics galore, this lighthearted, cheer-worthy adventure should find an easy audience among middle-grade readers."
