Here, twin brothers Bailey and Braxton Russell are
asked by Mrs. Paula Higgs-Knowles, their Fourth Grade teacher at Lower
Deadman’s Cay Primary School, Long Island, Bahamas, to give reviews of “Island
Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” on the last day of term. “Island Surprise” had
been a book project over several classroom sessions.
“Unfortunately,” Mrs. Higgs-Knowles says, “when we
took the video of the boys, there was a lot of background noise from people and
activity outside my classroom, as it was the end of the final day!” She told Bailey
and Braxton they reminded her of the two young brothers in “Island Surprise”,
especially as the characters Michael and Tony’s last name in the book is
Bailey!
Mrs. Higgs-Knowles says: “I had planned to do more
organized in-depth review interviews with the kids but it just got crazy at the
end of day. I will say they were all disappointed and sad to finish the book.
They were completely absorbed into the story. You definitely need to write
another one!”

Pictured with a hardcover copy of “Island Surprise: A Bahamian Adventure” by yours truly: Eight-year-old Henry Forsyth, who was chosen at The Little Cottage Library of The Bahamas, Glinton’s, Long Island, Bahamas, to be the first to borrow this fun adventure story of family togetherness, simplicity and resilience from the library.
Susan L. Koster, who is co-founder of The Little
Cottage Library along with Jodi Maley, said: “Henry was chosen to be the first
to borrow Island Surprise as he is an avid reader and I knew he would enjoy
it!” Susan is also Director of C.R.A.B. – “Caught Reading a Book” Book Club,
which fosters a love of reading for primary school students.
Henry’s mother Lillian Forsyth said: “We surely
enjoyed reading your book. It reminded me so much of my childhood. Henry and I
read it together. Your book surely depicts life back in the 1980's on the
islands. Thank you so much for writing such an amazing book!”
What a lovely compliment from Lillian! Island Surprise
is actually set in the present day, but I intended to show children what it
used to be like on a Bahamian Family Island and to explain to them that life
can really be quite simple. Island Surprise also educates them about such
island occupations as grinding corn and shelling peas!
