Sorry, my book doesn't have a shrinking island in it, but I'll let you know if I ever happen to come accross a book like that.

I accidently found Gone Away Lake, which I read and liked, when I didn't know the title because I just happened to download it for validation. :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck curious entity at earthlink dot net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merrill Louise" <STARBASEWILDGOOSE@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 6:15 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: submitted > Is this the book where the island shrinks?
