The Devils Own

Book Review
The Devils Own
Deborah Lisson


‘She adjusted the focus on the binoculars and squinted through them in astonishment, and disbelief. There was something there- or, more exactly, someone. Peering out of the bushes of that supposedly uninhabited island was, quite unmistakably, a human face.’
‘The Devils Own’ is a fantastic read, not only does it include action and drama, but also a little romance. What makes it even better, is the fact that it is all based on a true story, the story of the Batavia, a ship wrecked on an island.
Fifteen-year-old Julie is on holidays with her family on her father’s yacht, she’s incredibly bored until one day, when something happens to change her whole holiday.
‘The Devil’s Own’ is a story of mutiny, murder, and excitement and will be enjoyed by ages 12 to adult.

Hi Jordan,
You can change the template by clicking on edit html (its in the layout section I think). I think it's in the layout section. Mine is actually an old one as well that was deleted off the list of templates and my computer stuffs up when I try to change it.
Cool blogging
