The Island

By: Natasha Preston

Narrated by: Caitlin Kinnunen

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Hot on the heels of the New York Times bestsellers The Twin and The Lake, another pulse-pounding read from the undisputed queen of YA thrillers!

They said goodbye to their friends and family for the weekend. They weren’t counting on forever.

Jagged Island: a private amusement park for the very rich—or the very influential. Liam, James, Will, Ava, Harper, and Paisley—social media influencers with millions of followers—have been invited for an exclusive weekend before the park opens. They’ll make posts and videos for their channels and report every second of their VIP treatment.

When the teens arrive, they're stunned: the resort is even better than they’d imagined. Their hotel rooms are unreal, the park’s themed rides are incredible, and the island is hauntingly beautiful. They’re given a jam-packed itinerary for the weekend.

But soon they'll discover that something's missing from their schedule: getting off the island alive.

Critic reviews

Reviews for The Island:

A Publishers Weekly bestseller!

"Few authors who aren’t named Karen McManus can do YA thrillers as well as Natasha Preston."--PASTE

"Keeps the tensions high right up to the very last word."--SLJ

"Preston utilizes the uniqueness of the human-made island setting to great effect, providing an impish playfulness to the steadily escalating stakes and body count."--PW

"Part Agatha Christie, part Fyre Fest, and part Glass Onion, Preston’s novel is good fun for fans of quick thrillers."--Booklist

YES BOOK 📖

Could have been written better.

The ending was left up to the imagination. Not my favorite way to end a book

It was okay.

I wasn’t a huge fan of this book. It was still good if want something easy to follow and understand. But way to simple, simple words simple layout just all around a fast simple book.
