Join Mathilda and her dad as they go on a daring adventure to find buried treasure on a desert island, despite their VERY different approaches.

Matilda and her dad are very different. Matilda is fast and Dad is slow. Matilda is tidy and Dad is messy, and Matilda is quiet and Dad is very, very loud. They’re off to find treasure on a distant desert island, but Dad keeps getting distracted. Soon, they’re lost and Matilda is getting crosser and crosser… Will they ever find the way to treasure island? 

Follow the twists and turns of Mathilda and her dad’s adventures, as they navigate treacherous ocean waters, winding jungle paths and even a close encounter with a whale!

By the author of the best-selling There’s a Tiger in the Garden and Juniper Jupiter, this funny, adventure-packed story teaches children that even though people are different, they can still have fun together.

It was fiction. It’s not that exciting. I love the girls name Matilda. I love that the Dad sees nature and Matilda is focused. They’re complete opposites

I think the pictures were excellent and I liked how the story was told. I liked the dad’s character because he was adventurous and wanted to try and find new things. I liked Matilda because she wanted to do things right.

The book shows that people, even if they are opposites, can complement each other.

I liked when they found the treasure which were the exotic birds. I liked Dad best because he found the treasure . I was interested in it because it wasn’t the treasure I thought they would find . I would recommend it to my friends .

I thought it was good because when they found the treasure it wasn’t pirate’s treasure but birds. The pictures look good.
