The Secret of the Island
The story of 5 American castaways, stranded on an island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean is entertaining enough, although somewhat far-fetched. As a group they are very resourceful, but they do occasionally require a helping hand from a mysterious, unknown benefactor. One great thing about this book, it closes the legend of Captain Nemo, the hero from 20 Thousand Leagus Under the Sea.

About the Author

About The Author
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French author who pioneered the genre of science-fiction. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated author of all time, behind Disney Productions and Agatha Christie. His prominent novels have been made into films. Verne, along with H. G. Wells, is often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction"
