What happens when a slightly spoiled boy from the UK gets transplanted to an unspoiled island in the Caribbean? Naturally, he embarks on humbling adventures with new friends, a beach dog, a rescued sailing sloop, and a reluctant hero of pirate descent.
The Eye of the Storm author Alison Knights Bramble has created a magical world in a tropical setting. The land and sea of Kamaria, a fictional island in the Caribbean, provide countless discoveries including the kaleidoscopic marine life, abandoned ruins, buried treasure, unpredictable weather and a pristine landscape threatened by unwelcome developers. While many contemporary young adult novels feature the supernatural, The Eye of the Storm benefits from the naturally magical setting of the Caribbean.
In his introduction to The Eye of the Storm , Geoff Holt, MBE, disability sports ambassador and 2010 Yachtsman of the Year, says that the young characters in The Eye of the Storm achieve freedom "not only through sailing but also through the sense of safety that exists on an island where kids can explore the streets, the bush, the sea and the beach without adult supervision, allowing them to discover their own limits."
Alison Knights Bramble is the National Director for Special Olympics BVI where she coached her team to Gold and Silver medals at the 2011 Special Olympics Games in Athens. Her interaction with her sailing students over the years inspired The Eye of the Storm . In turn, she hopes the book inspires young people to read. All proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Special Olympics BVI.
With the huge local success of the YA Caribbean adventure novel, international distribution is happening while we read. Access to the adventure story that is leaving the shelves of outlets all over the Virgin Islands faster than they can be restocked, is now possible through online retailers in Europe and the United States.
