About
It's been four years since Maya, Simon, and Penny Nelson left the lost island of Tamarind. For Maya, the island is a nearly forgotten part of her childhood; for Penny, it's a secret place she can't remember, but longs to see; and for Simon, it's an adventure waiting to happen. An evil group called the Red Coral Project is lurking around the Nelson's home in Bermuda, and the children discover that the project has moved into Tamarind, and are desiccating it to ruin. Only the Nelson's can save the island.
In Tamarind, there is the mystery of the magical mineral ophalla that Red Coral is greedily mining, their old pirate ship, the Pamela Jane, and the secret of their friend Helix's parentage. This time, it is up to Simon to put the clues together, and save his sisters from the island and the nefarious Red Coral Project-and defeat Red Coral before the magnificent island is put to ruin.
Nadia Aguiar's sequel to The Lost Island of Tamarind, crafts a vivid story reminiscent of such classics as Peter Pan, full of adventure, magic, and haunting beauty.

"Simon Nelson and his sisters, Maya and Penny, have been living in Bermuda for four years, but they miss their life at sea and the adventures they shared with their parents in a land called Tamarind. Simon, especially, is restless. When a family friend from Tamarind, Helix, shows up with an urgent request to save Tamarind, Simon joins him--and brings his sisters along by mistake! While this is clearly the second in a series, Agular connects the back story deftly, so that new readers are quickly gathered into the magical land. … In his quest to save everyone, Simon discovers that he is growing up and that although adventure is sweet, family means more. … Rich descriptions and quirky characters will captivate fantasy genre fans."
