Summary: Creative and Imaginative
Comment: Professor William Waterman Sherman leaves San Franciso and takes off in a journey to fly around the world in a hot-air balloon. But he doesn't know what adventures he will find...
He crashes into the Pacific Ocean and is washed ashore the mysterious island of Krakatoa, where people dress like millionaires. They have exotic houses from all over the world and amazing inventions. But best of all there a millions of dollars of diamonds laying in the mines.
The professor is told he can't leave the island for the rest of his life for numerous reasons. A man called Mr.F tells Professor Sherman all about the intereseting history of the Krakatoans and all about the diamonds.
Basically this book is about the island Krakatoa. William Pene du Bois must have had a very big imagination. The book was very creative and original, at least a lot different from all of the other books I've read. The only reason this doesn't get five stars is because the plot was too rushed and it should have been a bit longer.
I reccomend this book to everyone who wants to read a very fun and imaginative book. Luckily he includes some pictures about certain things (some complex).

I liked and enjoyed this book. I liked the book mostly. His adventures take you to an Island that is really different. Just a fun book with inventions. A hot air ballon ride across the world.That's full of danger anf mystry.
I kind of dislike the book. For only one reason. That reason is because i think that the whole story seems rushed. But, other than that one thing. The story was a creative one.
My favorite part in this book. Is when Professor William Waterman Sherman's hot-air balloon pops. And he ends up on this island he never heard of. Where there are dimaond mines that are worth millions of dollars. And, he gets to share the diamonds that the Krakatoas collected. I enjoyed this book.
