The idea of 10 peculiar children supposedly quarantined on a island was intriguing indeed.

However, after the grandfather's storytelling ended and a sad farewell, the mystery was gone for me and everything I found out after those initially exciting moments, did not have the same impact.

The second-half of the story was weaker and stood out more as the YA read that it is.

I listened to the audio-book so there were no pictures, other than the ones I visualized in my mind, that could sway my opinion.

Just an "okay" read for me. There are better YA reads in the book-o-sphere.
