The Way To Treasure Island by Lizzy Stewart is a beautiful story about the bond between a father and daughter, and reminds young readers that if we all embrace our differences, life will be more fun and rewarding.

Mathilda and her Dad couldn't be more different. When they set off together to find a hidden treasure, Dad is easily distracted and Mathilda is frustrated that he is not as focused as she is on the task at hand. When they find the treasure together, they recognize that their differences have ultimately brought them to the same place, and recognize the joy that comes from sharing our experiences with those we love.

With beautiful illustrations and a positive message, this lovely book will be a nice addition to any bookshelf.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an ARC.
