This book is the 24th in the continuing series of books called 'The adventures of Left-Hand Island.' This book may perhaps be the most thrilling of them all. It may well be my favourite although I have created some pretty fun books in this series. Let me tell you a little about this specific adventure. Authors note Book 24 finds the children exploring the southern part of Left-Hand Island where they spot a small offshore island with a big mountain on it. A few animals warn that the mountain island is a volcano, but it may be far more than that as the story quickly unfolds into one rip roaring adventure. They encounter an evil creature that is big, bad and more brutally barbaric than anything they have ever come across. This monster is unparalleled in size and strength with no apparent weakness or mercy. So, to say "extremely dangerous" would be a huge understatement. There can be no hope of escape this time, for death and destruction follows in the wake of this monstrously evil creature.
