Contents
Plot summary
It tells the story of a family of dolls shipwrecked on an uninhabited tropical island, together with their dollhouse.
Reception
The Horn Book Magazine described Floating Island as "... one of those books so whimsically compounded that its like happens rarely." and went on "There are many people who can write a fine story of adventure, history or everyday life, but how many can write an Alice or a Story of Dr. Dolittle? It is this last kind of book which Anne Parrish has made."[1]
Awards
