(2) 4-6 In fictional 1923, calamity descends on Daniel's town in the form of mad Captain Sloper and his soldiers. Only after a visit to the mysterious island in the middle of the forest do Daniel and his friend Emily unravel the relevant puzzles. Townley's fanciful story is quirky and engaging; sentences hurry purposefully along, deepening atmosphere, theme, and plot.
