Michael Crouch narrates this upbeat sequel to THE ISLANDERS. Jake is thrilled to be spending another summer on Dewees Island, off the coast of South Carolina, with his friends Macon and Lovie. They hatch ambitious plans to hunt for Blackbeard's missing treasure but find themselves facing potential trouble from older island residents and obnoxious new kids. Crouch's straightforward narration matches Jake's forthright nature and the everywhere accent of a military kid who is used to moving frequently. When Jake does get upset, Crouch makes sure that his heartfelt emotion comes through. Lovie and Jake's grandmother, Honey, have the gentle twang of the South Carolina Low Country. Lavish descriptions of the untouched land and the wild animals of the carefully protected island will enchant listeners. N.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
