Woodcraft Boys at Sunset Island

On a remote island off the jagged Maine coast, a group of children discovers that the wildest adventures require the steadiest hearts. When their family settles on Sunset Island, the woodcraft boys trade classroom desks for forests and tides, learning to read the forest like a book and the sea like a map. But the island holds dangers beyond its beauty: mysterious thieves shadow the coastline, and the children must use every skill they've mastered to protect their new home. Their clever discovery of a pig adrift on a makeshift raft becomes a turning point, revealing unexpected friends and foes in equal measure. Hoisington weaves a tale where self-reliance isn't just a virtue but a lifeline, and where courage means trusting yourself when no one else can. For readers who loved Tom Sawyer and Swiss Family Robinson, this is a forgotten gem that captures that particular magic of childhood when the world feels vast and full of secrets waiting to be uncovered.
