A fun and exciting book

I really like this book and the fact that it's so exciting and fun to read, but I kind of agree with the person who wrote the May 1 review. The book was very dramatic, but it didn't seem to have much of an impact on Dawn and Claudia. I know this souns a little silly, but later on, in the Friends Forever super special "Everything Changes", Claudia writes to Stacey that she's never been stuck on an island before. That's a very minor thing that only a few people would catch, but it struck me as odd; I mean nobody would forget a traumatic experience like that.

Other than that silly little nagging incident, the book is great. It's a real page-turner and Claudia and Dawn and the rest acted logically for the situation. It's fairly realistic and everyone's response to the disappearance of Claudia and Dawn made sense. Overall, a fun book.

Suspenseful novel for young readers

Although I am now 18 years old, I still enjoy looking back on my Baby-Sitters Club books and reading them over again just for fun. Baby-Sitters' Island Adventure is probably one of the best super specials, though they are all really good.

In Baby-Sitters Island Adventure, Dawn and Claudia have been taking sailing lessons for a while. When their instructors tell them they can sail without any counselors after a tied sailing race, Claudia and Dawn decide to race again for a rematch. But then, they decide to take some of the kids they baby-sit for (Becca Ramsey--Jessi's nine-year-old sister; nine-year-old Haley Braddock; four-year-old Jamie Newton, and Dawn's ten-year-old brother, Jeff), and just race from Stoneybrook to an island close by called Greenpoint Island and then have a picnic and come right back.

On the day of the race, the sky looks bright and clear. But while they are out in the water racing, there is a freak thunderstorm which makes Dawn's boat flood! The sailboats they are using are too small for all six of them but manage to make it to a small unknown island far off course. Now the other baby-sitters and the town of Stoneybrook are worried: How long can two teens with four young children last? But the real question is...did they all survive? And if they did, where ARE they?

In this thrilling novel you will learn all about learning how to survive while you are alone on an island (okay...so maybe not. But it's still a great read, especially for a boring summer day!). Ann M. Martin has done it again! Must read for all Baby-Sitters fans.

cool

Dawn and claudia have a perfect day panned. They've invited Dawn's brother Jeff and three kids to join them on a sailing race out to Greenpoint Island. The girls have even packed a picnic lunch for the adventure. But then a big storm blows up in the middle of the race. and claudia and dawn and the kids never return from their island. The Baby sitters can't believe it's true, two of their members are missing!

my favourite super special!

this is my favourite baby sitters club super special. Claudia and Dawn went on a sailing race and took some baby sitting charges with them, but then there is an ugly storm and they ended up on another island that wasn't Greenpoint Island, where they were supposed to go, have lunch and come back to Stoneybrook. Everyone is worried about them missing and whether they survived, but it's much more fun reading about their Island adventures. Although they are stranded and it's sad, they do a lot of creative things for their survival, such as fishing, playing games, claudia making a water catcher so they can have water for survival, making a fire, splitting the food they had, etc. It's so amazing and kind of odd that claudia happened to find a big mirror-like object that helped rescue them all, she attracted a plane in the sky that was a search plane and shortly, a rescue boat with their families on picked them up. It was a great book, very well written as all Ann M. Martin books are
