The Adventures of Left-Hand Island

The adventures continues as the children wander another part of the mysterious Left-Hand Island.

Book 11 begins at the base of Ring Peninsula, near the edge of the rainbow. Here the children discover more unique wildlife normally found in the Southeast Asian archipelago. The children meet some interesting animals who are funny and  friendly or just simply silly. As the day unfolds, the children are given some gloomy clues to stay away from The Utterly Empty Forest, where it is rumoured a lonely loathsome creepy creature dwells. Everything would have been well and good that day, except the children innocently wandered into the forest they ought not. The creature they face there is dreadful, not to mention it is real, alive, and hunts in Indonesia today.

Cautionary note: This book series was originally intended to be read to children in those precious bonding years of four and five year olds. But the books slowly and gradually become more elaborate, using harder words. This encourages a better learning experience, as you the reader get to explain certain words or phrases to them.

As the series progresses, the books become funnier, but also scarier. At many school readings, the children always seem to want me to read the scarier books. Although the monsters and pictures become scarier, they are no more scary than a Disney movie. So before you read to a young one, please flip to the end, to see if the scary monsters are too harsh for more sensitive viewers. These books will also serve to teach and delight early readers.

Thank you.
