Island Girl
by Khara Campbell

Step into the world of an eight year old island girl. To climbing up mango trees and eating coconuts, the enjoyment never ends on her tiny island. Island girl takes you on an escape to experience island life and what it is like growing up in the Caribbean. You will experience the culture and the lifestyle so authentic you would believe you’re running along with Tina and her friends as they enjoy their little space in the sea, sand and sun. In “Island Girl”, Tina is upset that her best friend Billy won’t be able to play with her today because he has to go to summer school. Tina feels she has no one else to play with because all the other kids play games she doesn’t like. But being a tomboy, Tina knows there is no way she can stay inside all day until Billy gets home later in the afternoon. So with encouragement from her mummy, Tina sought out the “other girls” to play with. Tina will quickly learn, that even though she and the “other girls” don’t like playing the same games that they all have a lot in common which they will all teach each other.
