Bookroo's summary

Jay and Lila Cooper embark on a rescue mission to a South Sea island, only to find a bustling colony led by a man claiming to be the long-lost missionary Adam MacKenzie. As earthquakes and erosion threaten to destroy the island, the Coopers must unravel the mystery of MacKenzie's identity and his connection to the island's impending doom. With time running out, can they uncover the truth and escape the island's deadly fate? Dive into a thrilling adventure of deception and survival.

From the publisher

A cry for help from a sinking island… A rescue mission leads Jay and Lila Cooper to a doomed South Sea island where nothing is as they expected. Instead of a primitive civilization, the Coopers encounter a busy colony with a mysterious leader claiming to be Adam MacKenzie, a missionary once presumed dead. To add to the confusion, someone seems to have pushed the island’s self-destruct button. Earthquakes and erosion are tearing the island apart, and every moment is precious in the Coopers’ search for the real Adam MacKenzie. Escape from the Island of Aquarius is a page-turning tale of action, stolen identity, and nail-biting cliffhangers. You will not be able to put it down.
