What has science fiction adventure, family fights, flying stone robots, a dead snake, an annoying little sister (she’s the one with the decaying reptile), a brother who needs to prove himself and a shipwreck?

Bad Island does.

It’s a really, really, bad island.
Here’s the scoop: Dad takes the whole family on an extended boat trip, for a little enforced family bonding. Reese is sure it’s going to be the Just Awful, and is he ever right: A big storm blows up and before they know it, the whole family is stranded.

On a really, really, bad island.

Seriously, the place wants them dead. Well. Sort of.

You see, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, another son was also not getting along with his dad. And because they’re giant stone robots fighting an evil bioengineered monster army, blowing off dad has terrible consequences.

So what does the intergalactic robot army have to do with the shipwrecked family?

Read Bad Island, and see for yourself! (
