Opinion:
The Treasure of Peril Island by C. W. James is a good book stuffed with adventure and mystery. Yet, because of the way the author wrote the book, I felt like the scenes were changing too fast. I had a hard time keeping up with all of the characters and was losing my interest in the book. Something I did like about The Treasure of Peril Island was how the story was full of suspense and mystery. During the parts that were suspenseful, I didn’t want to put the book down, but afterwards I felt like it was a bit boring. I would recommend this book to kids ages 12+ because of the content and plot.
