Let's hear it for the Bone pickers!Nov 13, 2003
My name is Alyssa. I like reading and that's how I came across Massacre Island.It's a very interesting book. My favorite part is is when Nicholas first sees an Indian. I think the Bone Pickers are cool and I really like how they are descibed. That is also one of my favorite parts of the book. It's very old fashioned and it makes me think of American history but it's a lot more fun than American History. I would rate it a number 1 history book.
Fascinating Read for Children and Adults!Jul 09, 2012

I can highly recommend Anne Dalton's book, Massacre Island. Although I live in the area where the story took place, it would be interesting to anyone who enjoys history. The author gives a vivid portrayal, through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy, of the day-to-day life of the Indians and the French explorers who settled what is now Dauphin Island, in Mobile County, Alabama
The author's use of authentic details, and excellent storytelling skills brought Massacre Island to life. I felt as if I was right there sharing the adventure. It is a fascinating read for children or adults.
*Be sure to read the author's other excellent books, Dream Ghost and Jeremiah A. Denton.
