It appears that things cannot get worse until they discover that their would-be rescuers are treacherous pirates! The captives are taken to a secret island and forced to do hard labor. While plotting their escape, they learn that the island holds two secrets: one fabulous and one that threatens to destroy them all! Will they escape? What are the secrets of the island? These questions and more will be answered in The Pirate Island by Harry Collingwood.
