The Critter Café

In the fifth Isla of Adventure chapter book, Isla discovers a surprising competition hosted by the animals of Sol!

Isla’s grandparents, the reigning pastry champions, are once again participating in the annual Sol Bake-Off! Isla can’t wait to help, but when sets off in search of the freshest ingredients Sol has to offer, she notices the bushes have no berries, no coconuts hang from the palm trees, and even the creatures of Sol have gone silent. That’s when she uncovers a festival the creatures of Sol host for themselves: The Critter Café!

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Isla of Adventure chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
