This
review is from: LOST
ISLAND SMUGGLERS (The Sam Cooper Adventure Series
I thoroughly enjoyed "Lost Island Smugglers" by gifted Author Max Elliot
Anderson. This fictional novel reminds me of my youth and the pleasure I
received in reading both the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mystery series. My twelve
year old grandson would be intrigued by the adventure that Sam Cooper and his
two new friends, Tony and Tyler, face in this well-written suspense
novel.
Sam Cooper is an eleven year old boy who moves around more than the average boy of his age. His father is a biologist and must go where his job takes him. This occurs more than Sam likes. His latest move takes him to Harper's Inlet in Florida and once again Sam must seek out new friends. He does so at Sunday School where he meets up with Tony and Tyler. Tony's father owns a marina and many opportunies arise for the boys to spread their wings. After taking scuba diving lessons, they decide to venture out into the ocean on their own and put their skills to the test. An unexpected storm is brewing and the three boys manage to survive and end up on Lost Island. The adventure that ensues is most enjoyable and sure to capture the hearts of many younger readers.

There is an added thread throughout this novel, that intertwines
lessons to be learned, as well as the importance of morals and values in the
lives of these youngsters. "Lost Island Smugglers" can be seen as a valuable
educational tool in teaching these ethics as well as stressing the role parent's
play in shaping the lives of their children. I'm sure many young boys and girls
can identify with the desire to be popular with their friends and the tendency
to be disobedient to their parents in order to attain that popularity. Sam is
faced with this challenge. This thought-provoking novel, demonstrates the
sometimes peril consequences of ignoring the warnings of concerned parents. The
illustrations in this book also add to the reading pleasure of the young
audience it will appeal to.
