“Ah, yes,” Jajumbee nodded. “The sea is a beeeeg place, and hard to know who your neighbor is. Everybody always moving about. From here to there. There to here.” He moved his arms in big swishing motions. “One never knows where she’ll be tomorrow, not in the sea. But here . . .”
“Different,” croaked Boofo.
“Right, my friend,” the gecko continued. “It’s different here. Folks stay put, and so we learn to give and take. . . .”
Zani the sea turtle has washed ashore on an island filled with welcoming creatures. However, their welcome comes with a catch—the Island Rule. But when unruly baboons shipwreck on the beach, they want to make their own rules. Pirate seadogs also lurk about with revenge on their minds—revenge against the islanders for aiding their long time foes, two mice last known sailing on the Westing Wind. Should Zani help or head back to sea?
Local Author and Illustrator Tim Davis brings this story to life. Davis wrote the popular Mice of the Herring Bone five-book series with every intention of letting Charles, Oliver, and their friends (and foes) retire. But The Island Rule, unpublished 15 years ago, now offers adventures to a new generation of readers. Tim is best known as a prolific illustrator for Highlights, with over 500 Hidden Pictures to his credit. If you are in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, you can bet Tim Davis is at one of the many local coffee shops or at TR Makers Co!
