About this ebook

Edgar Dewitt is the new kid in town. Moving from Alabama to Mount Lanier, Washington has been quite the change, and Edgar quickly realizes making new friends won't be as easy as he thought. On his first day in town, he meets one of Mount Lanier’s best: the incorrigible Chris Weedy, who’s as bright as a sack of socks and as mean as you can get. 

One day while exploring the woods behind his new house, Edgar discovers something mysterious: an old abandoned cabin. But the real magic happens when he finds something even more magnificent inside the cabin itself: a dark and ominous hole. After studying the hole for a few days, Edgar musters his courage and jumps in feet first. It takes him straight through the center of the earth to a tiny island in the middle of the Indian ocean, and Edgar knows he’s stumbled upon something ancient. Something secret--a seemingly impossible way to journey to the other side of the world. 

For the next several weeks, the island becomes a sanctuary where Edgar can escape Chris Weedy’s cruel taunting and his parents’ constant questions. But a sudden, nearby wildfire threatens to engulf the town in flames and take Edgar’s volunteer firefighter father along with it. Edgar must act fast and decide between saving his new town or keeping his newly found safe haven.

    Edgar ends up on the adventure of a lifetime and his mother is determined to make sure he gets back home. Well-rounded characters demonstrate the power of love and family through tumultuous and dangerous times.I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway. Although encouraged, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

    I'm not the one to judge the book by its title-cover maybe, but not the title-but when I saw the title 'The Secret Island Of Edgar DeWitt', my first thought was that it was a children's novel, kinda like the Enid Blyton books.

    How wrong was I! This book was packed with so many emotions, so much knowledge and a whole lot of adventure.

    Edgar's parents were both amazing characters and my absolute favorite. Edgar was a cool character too. Another favorite character of mine was Dr. Van Rossum! He was just SO cool!

    The hole, oh my God, I so wanted to fall through it, the author described the fall oh-so-awesomely! A salute to the author's descriptive skills!

    All in all, I absolutely loved this book and I'm so thankful I got an ARC for this beautiful masterpiece! <3
