Travel with Aubrey, Clifford and Walli as they go on an enjoyable seaside holiday, at least for the turkey. Watch as the island becomes stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, unable to move. The biggest crisis in its long history!Please enjoy the stories. And don’t be afraid to laugh, particularly as Aubrey’s expense. But please, please, please – continue to remember to keep the latest position of the island top secret!
MY REVIEW I have read every book about Aubrey the Turkey, Clifford Platypus, Walli Hog, throughly enjoying them all. I have been patiently waiting for the new book to come out in the series of, The Island Of Animaux, and now it’s finally here I couldn’t wait to read it, but unfortunately I was stuck down with a very sore throat that felt like sandpaper and a heavy cold, with doing a Covid test proving positive, which I had seven days to get better before I headed of to Malta for a holiday. As always the last book I read by Milo McGivern seems to be my favourite for different reasons. The Other Side, was my favourite as it had some magic from a book of spells, woven into the storyline, with Aubrey the turkey doing some magic that goes a little wrong. Aubrey, disappears somewhere and doesn’t know how to get back home. I couldn’t wait to find out if Walli and Clifford can help their friend Aubrey come back home, after he disappeared. All children from the pages to 8 to 12 will adore this book The Other Side, and four other stories with a flair of magic, with talking animals living on a type island that’s moving all the time. And each book their location will change.
