the floating island
The Floating Island is the first of the Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme. These are some light stories for about fourth to sixth grade, perhaps. This one retells Ven’s story as he leaves his home, encounters pirates, learns of the Floating Island, gets thrown into prison, is rescued and begins his adult life. Fantasy, but not too over-bearingly so; the concepts are familiar, the magic is not too arcane. It was a sweet book.
