The Lost Island of Tamarind
Author(s): Nadia Aguiar
"It is not down in any map; true places never are."Welcome to Tamarind, where fish can fly, pirates control the waters, jaguars lurk, the islanders are at war, and an evil, child-stealing enchantress rules the jungle. Thirteen-year-old Maya, her younger brother, Simon, and her baby sister, Penny, have just landed their boat here after a terrible storm washed their parents overboard. After spending their entire lives at sea, it's a relief just to be on dry land. But Tamarind is unlike anything Maya could have imagined a place both magical and terrifying. Now Maya will be lucky just to make it to tomorrow."
