About this ebook
Semi, Miranda, and Arnie are part of a group of 50 British Young Conservationists on their way to a wildlife conservation station deep in the rain forests of Ecuador. After a terrifying mid-air disaster and subsequent crash, these three are the sole survivors, stranded together on a deserted tropical island. Or so they think. Semi, Miranda, and Arnie stumble into the hands of Dr. Franklin, a mad scientist who’s been waiting for them, eager to use them as specimens for his experiments in genetic engineering.

Considering that this was directed toward a young adult audience, I really enjoyed it. It's not completely cliche (although it has its moments) and it kept me hooked up until the end. I'm normally highly critical of books, but this is one I'd recommend to anyone.

Being of a younger age, I love a lot of fantasy/sci-fi novels that I happen to come across. But Dr. Franklin's Island has to be one of my favourites. I love the twist on the character of a monster creator, and how everything has a modern touch to it. It really allows me to put myself in the kids' place. I recommend this to kids 11-16 as a start, but hell, read it if you like the sound of it!
