ADVENTURE ISLANDS: A Mystery Tale of the Caribbean

The Virgin Islands for the setting for a rather heavy-handed and slow-moving adventure story. The Brents leave New York City for the islands, -- Mr. Brent seeking health, Mrs. Brent hoping to find her brother, who disappeared after World War I. Throughout the adventures in searching, Bob and Kathleen, 13 and 11, learn a great deal about the islands, about strange native spells and witchcraft, and so on.
