Publisher's summary

It's the early 1980s, and a group of rag-tag Boy Scouts on a remote Washington State Island find what they think is a floating Russian spy device. Authorities initially ridicule their find, but when the device goes missing, ferry service is soon disrupted, and power and phones get cut off, the Scouts are threatened and pursued as spies shut down the island to get it back. What chance do Boy Scouts have against armed spy-thugs?

The Scouts, along with an Island visitor from Britain—an attractive Indian girl named Pen—seek to turn the tide against the spies, even to beat them at their own sneaky games and somehow prevail. Come along for bike chases, midnight kayak escapes, sneaky schoolboy tricks, and booby traps galore.

Yes, and romance. Get set for rollicking adventure.

The Goonies with so much more!

Deception Island is a throwback adventure that is aptly named. It has action, intrigue, romance, and a lot more underneath the surface that brings you closer to this ragtag group of boy scouts. The writing is well done, descriptive, witty, humorous, and most importantly compassionate. I didn't expect to go where the story brought us, but I'm glad it did. As an extra bonus, this hidden gem is excellently voice acted. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a classic adventure with a new spin!
