DETENTION JUST GOT DANGEROUS!
When Jack Digby is sent to Cyril Sniggs's Correctional Orphanage for Wayward Boys and Girls, he doesn't expect lessons in how to fire cannons and fend off pirate attacks. But perhaps he should, as the school, some say, was founded by a pirate.
Even stranger, at the end of each year, the four worst-behaved pupils are banished to the terrifying Sin Bin Island, where they must survive for a week. Legend has it, the island was once used to smuggle magic onto the mainland, but in over 300 years the magic has never been found.
Until now . . .
Book one of this highly anticipated series, with illustrations by Nik Afia.

"Doug Naylor has always been a master storyteller and this might be his most intriguing adventure yet. As funny as it is clever, and brilliantly mysterious from one page to the next, Sin Bin Island drags you through the story at pace, while Doug's turn of phrase and ambling side tracks keep you chuckling along the way. A genius writer, and a perfect book!"

"Brilliant, totally brilliant. Exciting. Heart-stopping. Hilarious. And touching too. It's the book I always wanted to read as a kid but could never find. It's the new Harry Potter. I want a part in the movie franchise!!"

"Insanely funny and inventive - get yourself a ringside seat for this cartwheeling, high-wire, fire-breathing circus of a book."
