My Father's Island

More about the book

The true story of a girl on the raw edge of adolescence who discovers the secrets of an impossibly romantic family history. Johanna Angermeyer's father Hans and his four brothers fled Nazi Germany and sailed to the Galapagos islands, where they lived like Robin Crusoes, surrounded by exotic wildlife. But the war caught up with the Enchanted Isles, and Johanna found herself growing up 2000 miles away, dreaming of the island her father had loved.
