A Book From My Childhood

Last week as I was shelving books I ran across a book that I was able to get last year as a donation to our library. I had forgotten how excited I was to see this book from my childhood. Baby Island by Carol Ryrie Brink is one of the few books that I recall from my childhood as being a favorite. In this book twelve-year-old Mary Wallace and her ten-year-old sister Jean survive the wreck of an ocean liner on its way to Australia and manage to make it to a seemingly deserted island in a lifeboat with four babies. You might want to check it out if this brief descriptions sounds good to you. The copy we have had the older looking cover that I remember from my childhood but I am sure if you will enjoy the insides just as well no matter what the cover looks like.
