COMING SPRING 2027!

Aimed at readers aged 13+ Lemur Island: Darwin’s Disappearance is an adventure novel that introduces a sympathetic 16-year-old heroine, who travels to the far side of the world—Madagascar. Samantha is in search of her father, who has disappeared in the bush while on a scientific expedition. In her quest, she finds more than she bargained for: a world unlike any other, filled with unique and endangered wildlife and people who open her eyes to new experiences and ways of living. Along the way, Samantha overcomes social anxieties and learns to trust in herself.

Praise for Lemur Island: Darwin’s Disappearance

"When I was a kid I read Tom Stetson and the Giant Jungle Ants, an adventure story with a young man as the intrepid hero (it was a long time ago …). It did a pretty good job of combining nature and adventure. Lemur Island starts there but digs much deeper, stirring the pot with environmental issues, politics, and international crime, all seen through the eyes of a heroine who juggles bravery and insecurity, throwing in tracking skills to boot. I guarantee that as the story unfolds you will not want to put it down.”

-Jay Ingram, award-winning journalist, broadcaster and the author of 22 books

“Rich in wildlife, grounded in real-world conservation concerns, and with a delightful hint of an unexpected romance, this is a book that young readers passionate about the natural world will not want to miss.”

-Diana Schaffter, Award-Winning Children's Book Author of Armando & the Amazing Animal Race, International Teacher, and Speaker
