Blood Island by Liz Windover takes YOU on a quest to find a legendary bird in the South Pacific, but an unexpected storm leaves you and your crew shipwrecked on a haunted island full of ghosts.

Written from the second-person point of view, the reader is leading a research quest to a mysterious and recently discovered island, and must choose what happens next in the story:
If you decide to build a shelter first, turn to page 13.
If you decide to find water first, turn to page 52.

You are the key biologist aboard a research vessel named Albatross III. You and your research team are en route to a mysterious island in the Pacific when your ship gets sucked into a spinning whirlpool. You are knocked unconscious during the storm, and when you awake, you are stranded on Blood Island. The island is rumored to be haunted by ghosts.

Do you stay near the beach in hopes of being rescued? Or do you venture into the woods in search of the mythical bird that you've traveled all this way to find? Will you meet spooky ghosts on a shipwrecked pirate on shore?

Middle grade readers will explore creepy pirate ships with lingering ghosts, venture into the dense, tropical forest, discover ancient ruins, and meet certain death and doom, all while having fun reading and choosing.

YOU choose what happens next!
