Lord of the Flies for a new generation, X-Isle is a compelling thriller about boys, friendship and the power of farts.
Steve Augarde was born in Birmingham, but spent most of his life in the West Country, working as an illustrator, paper-engineer, and semi-pro jazz musician. He has written and illustrated over seventy picture books for younger children, and has produced the paper-engineering for many pop-up books. His first book for older children, THE VARIOUS, won a Silver Smarties Award in 2003. He lives in Yorkshire with his family.
Totally emotional and a truly captivating read. I give this book
five out of five
