review:
'The Dark Island' by Scott Chantler is book six of the Three Thieves series. I came late to the party, but I really enjoy all the volumes of this series that I've read.

Dessa, along with her companions Topper and Fisk, has been looking for her brother. In the last book, they were given a ride by pirates to the flying island of Astaroth. Now they have to find a way onto the island. Once they get there, they find that it's being run by someone called the Toymaker and he has some unusual guests on his island.

Meanwhile, Dessa's brother Jared's story is told in parallel. He is captured by guards and as his story comes out, there are things he's seen that have the guards intrigued. It seems that there is mystery afoot and Jared is still in danger.

I love the art and the colors. I really like the characters and the weird adventures they have in this world. This is definitely a series I'd recommend to young readers looking for graphic novels to read. The adventure reminds me of the kinds of things I liked at that age (and still do!).

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Kids Can Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
