The Castaways: The Curse of the Jolly Stone Trilogy, Book III

“The Castaways leaves readers breathless.”—School Library Journal

The spirited adventure that began in The Convicts and continued in The Cannibals has its riveting conclusion in The Castaways—in which Tom Tin and his four convict companions save two sailors stranded on an iceberg. There’s Mr. Beezley, with his tattooed hands and icy stare; and Mr. Moyle, with his pig-like face and rotten teeth, who supposedly eats children. As Tom grows wary of the men, he suspects they are plotting to get rid of him. But
how? And if Tom and the other boys can’t stop the sailors, will they ever make it home to England, where Tom’s diamond remains buried, and where he still stands a chance of sorting out his tangled fate?

“The quirky characters and an incredible story with fast action will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next, complete with a very satisfying, surprise ending.”—MyShelf.com
