Island Shock

Description

Mike has no idea how he ended up on a deserted island. As he tries to discover answers, he finds himself attacked by all sorts of dangers: crocodiles, tarantulas, and even wild dogs. Something sinister is clearly happening to Mike, but what? As his survival skills get stronger, he becomes even more determined to uncover the truth. Will he succeed in escaping, or has this all been a part of some sick game?

The Toxic books offer exciting, shorter stories (just 48pp each) for readers who may find longer books too daunting, but who still want fast-paced, adventure stories.
