One of The Telegraph’s Top 50 Books of 2019!

When Luna’s family win an island, Luna thinks it will solve everything AND she can finally get a donkey! But things don’t go entirely to plan – no one expects Luna’s younger brother to win a Sheep Pageant, for example – and the secret festival they hold soon spirals out of control. But the island is beautiful, and the family are happy, and maybe Luna will get her donkey after all…

""…this book is definitely a bask in the sun"" – Emily Bearn, Telegraph

""Watching the family band together and find a new community makes for a funny, heart-warming read."" – Scotsman

I really enjoyed this book, because the three siblings had to use teamwork and listen to each other, especially Margot, because she seems like a bossy character who likes to tell people what to do. The exciting parts for me was when they were close to being discovered about their festival by Mum. There are three characters I like the most. I like Doug, because he was very helpful and made Kai happy which made Kai most likely to want to help Luna, Margot and Fabien. I like Fabien, because he is extremely funny and makes everyone smile, even if they do get annoyed with him. What I also like about him is his passion for knitting. I think it was really nice when he knitted a pair of dolphin slippers for Eric Harding (called Mr Billionaire by Luna and her brother and sister). And finally, my favourite one of all, is Luna. I like Luna so much because she tried so hard to not let the festival be discovered by Mum and it was my favourite part, but the main reason is because she likes to help people. She helped a lot with Margot and Fabien preparing the festival and having the idea that it would make money for her donkey sanctuary, the broken plane Margot wanted to prepare and Fabien's goat sanctuary as well as cheering Dad up as she saw how happy he was at the Itchbottom festival. She has good intentions and is really kind, as you get to find out at the start, making a wish for her family. I like how she tries to get into Margot's good books (only annoying her once saying that she loves Brice even though she did) too. I find Margot a bit weird, because for one thing she really likes Brice but she says she doesn't, she only likes his music. Luna calls it a romance, but I don't actually think that. I just think she likes him for someone to stand by her side. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone who likes a laugh and sort of friendship and family books.

I thought it was a bit funny and exciting. It was fiction and my favourite character was margot . It interested me because I like animals and he blurb it said it had lots of animals. I would recommend it to anyone who likes animals and adventure and fun.

I liked how the family starts off without the island and a really kind person gives away their Scottish isle to the family. The family has a fair on the island and I like how they make loads of friends. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure stories.

My favourite character was Fabien because he is very energetic and he loves sheep and goats. I would recommend this book to people who like a sad but happy ending!
